Peter Drury produces one of the all-time great commentary calls at the end of Croatia vs Italy game

Peter Drury gave us one of the best commentary moments of the year after Mattia Zaccagni netted a late equaliser for defending champions Italy in their Euro 2024 clash against Croatia.

Italy booked their spot in the last-16 on Monday night thanks to super sub Zaccagni, who cancelled out Luka Modric's opener with a curling effort from the left side of the penalty area.

Croatia, meanwhile, can still go through to the knockout stages if certain results fall their way but it appears unlikely as they rely on several teams, including England and Turkey.

In terms of the in-game action on Monday, Italy gave us arguably the most dramatic moment of the tournament so far – and it's fair to say commentator Peter Drury did it justice.

Drury, who was signed by Sky Sports in June to replace the outgoing Martin Tyler, added to his catalogue of iconic moments with this masterpiece as the Italians celebrated a memorable last-gasp finish.

"Salvation. The Azzurri reach for the skies and Croatia hit the turf in sorrow," says Drury. "Oh boy. The Modric marvel is undone by the zest of Zaccagni. How it must feel to be Croatian.

"Croatia crushed. Italy weeping tears of relief. Football taking human beings to places they hadn't imagined. Croatia could see the line. They were there the last 16 had all but embraced them.

"And with the last Zaccagni came up with a gem. And Italy having stared into the abyss. Embrace each other joyfully now and embrace their ongoing involvement at Euro 2024. This game tears you up.

"When you think you've seen it all, it delivers again. Drama and trauma in equal measure."

Last year, ahead of his Premier League debut, Drury gave a fascinating insight into how he prepares for matches.

Prior to his first appearance for Sky Sports alongside co-commentators Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, he appeared in a short video in which he showed masses of notes, each section marked in different colours, for players, coaches and other key reference points, including form and recent selections.

Specifically for Chelsea against Liverpool, Drury then showed a page dedicated to the rivalry between managers Mauricio Pochettino and Jurgen Klopp, as well as a page on previous Liverpool number nines after Darwin Nunez took the shirt number.
