Netherlands 3-1 England (AET): Three Lions capitulate in extra-time to go crashing out of Nations League
England went crashing out of the Nations League after a total collapse in extra-time of their semi-final against the Netherlands.With the scores level at full-time, calamitous mistakes from John Stones and Ross Barkley gifted the Dutch a 3-1 victory, with Kyle Walker inadvertently turning into his own net before Quincy Promes profited.Stones gifted the ball to Depaygetty5

Marcus Rashford had put England in front from the penalty spot following a clumsy challenge from Matthjis de Ligt, before the highly-rated Dutchman atoned for his error with a bullet header in the second-half.The Three Lions thought they had won it when Jesse Lingard slotted home in the latter stages of normal time, but replays showed he was a whisker offside and the goal was chalked off by VAR.Andy Goldstein isnt happy with Gareth Southgate after Englands loss The defeat will feel all too familiar for England fans, who will remember their side taking the lead against Croatia before losing the 2018 World Cup semi-final after extra-time.Gareth Southagte’s men will now face Switzerland in a battle for third place on Sunday, while the Netherlands and Portugal compete to become the first ever Nations League champions.There were some boos from stunned England fans at the end of a gripping clash at the sold-out Estadio D.

The semi-final started sloppily but Holland would eventually settle and threaten to hurt an England backline that was shaking from the outset.Things appeared to be going one way, only for the normally unruffled teenager De Ligt to miscontrol a backpass and catch Rashford with his hasty recovery challenge. The forward coolly turned home the 32nd-minute penalty.A last-ditch Denzel Dumfries challenge prevented Rashford grabbing another soon after – a tackle that would bring a premature end to his night, with Harry Kane coming on at the break having been rested along with the other Champions League finalists.Alan Brazil slams England for playing out from the back against Holland Promes celebrate the third Dutch goalgetty5

Jadon Sancho wasted a glorious chance to double England’s advantage with a close-range header, while Jordan Pickford saved Walker’s blushes after being robbed of possession by Depay.Ronald Koeman’s side were unnerving the Three Lions, so there was little surprise when the pressure told in the 73rd minute when De Ligt lost Stones and rose above Walker to head powerfully past motionless Pickford.Donny Van De Beek fired over as Holland pushed for a winner that looked to have come at the other end seven minutes from time.
