At the 1980 European Football Championship in Italy , England did not get beyond the group stage. In the first group game against Belgium he gave England a 1-0 lead with one of the most beautiful goals of this European Championship: Wilkins overcame the offside trap of the Belgian defense with a lob , then ran the ball again and lifted it at full speed over Jean-Marie Pfaff away into the gate. However, the game ended 1-1.
