England vs Netherlands LIVE: Result and reaction as Lionesses produce stunning Wembley comeback

England 3-2 Netherlands: Ella Toone scored a stoppage-time winner after the Lionesses were two goals down at half time

Sarina Wiegman says England ‘know what we have to do’ against Netherlands

England kept their bid to secure Olympics qualification for Great Britain alive in dramatic fashion as Ella Toone’s stoppage-time goal completed a fightback from two goals down to beat the Netherlands 3-2 at Wembley.

Needing a win to remain in contention to finish top in Nations League Group A1, the final position required for them to have a chance of obtaining a place for GB at next summer’s Games in Paris, the Lionesses were on course for a third defeat in the pool as Lineth Beerensteyn notched a first-half brace for the Dutch.

But Sarina Wiegman’s side battled back with two goals in quick succession from Georgia Stanway and Lauren Hemp around the hour mark, before substitute Toone capped the turnaround in the first minute of time added on to bring a huge roar from the 71,632 crowd in attendance.

It leaves England in second place, level on points with the Netherlands and one in front of Belgium, ahead of concluding their group matches by playing Scotland at Hampden Park on Tuesday. Belgium drew 1-1 with Scotland in Friday’s other Group A1 contest.

FT: England 3-2 Netherlands

FT: What an incredible game and it will take time to sink in, the players are in a post-match huddle receiving instructions, they have another game against Scotland on Tuesday, but for now they should be allowed to enjoy the comeback and the spirit they showed to come back from two goals behind to secure the victory.

FT: England 3-2 Netherlands

FT: England have done something exceptional at Wembley, the players sit down exhausted, but they have given an incredible account for themselves.

Having been 2-0 down at half time, many people will have counted them out, but they have fought back to secure a win against the odds and keep Team GB’s hopes of qualifying for the Olympics alive.

They have not shown what they are capable of in the Nations League so far, but in front of just under 72,000 people at Wembley the Lionesses have re-discovered the form that saw them win the Euros and reach the World Cup final.

GOAL! Ella Toone scores! England 3-2 Netherlands

90+1’ GOAL! Toone scores! Just as it was announced there were five minutes of injury time, England claimed the goal they so desperately needed.

James perfectly picked out Toone at the far post and she just slotted the ball into the back of the net, that was the lifeline England needed and their Olympic hopes are still alive.

89’ SAVE! Mary Earps who was largely at fault for the second goal has made a key save to keep her side in the match, it was palmed away and hit hard but straight at the goalkeeper.

88’ The question now is how much extra time will there be at the end of this game, there have been a fair few substitutions, but there have not been many pauses for injuries.

England have another half chance but it loops harmlessly off Daly and into the goalkeeper’s hands.

87’ England are really going for it, but they haven’t had a real or good chance for a while, will Daly make the difference?

They are definitely throwing everything at it, but they need to win.
