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.

England 0-2 Netherlands

39’ Lauren James had a go, and although it bounced in front of the Dutch goalkeeper, it was straight at her and an easy save, England are looking slightly shell-shocked like they can’t believe the position they find themselves in.

England 0-2 Netherlands

38’ Chloe Kelly tries to do it all herself to bring England back into the game, but her swerving strike from distance was just wide of the post.

GOAL! Beerensteyn scores a second! England 0-2 Netherlands

34’ GOAL! Beerensteyn scores again! Another chance and another goal, and that one should have been saved by Earps.

Again it was far too easy for the Dutch, England failed to clear their lines properly, Jess Carter came out of position and then Beerensteys won the ball, easily got past Greenwood and beat Earps at the near post.

The goalkeeper was left frustrated and banging her fists on the ground, but she got a good hand to it and should have made the save.

England 0-1 Netherlands

32’ Alex Greenwood has made a cynical tackle, gifting the Netherlands a free kick just outside the box, and they definitely have a superior height advantage over the Lionesses.

England 0-1 Netherlands

30’ Play has been broken up a bit just before the half hour mark, and has largely been contained to the midfield area, without either side creating any chances.

England 0-1 Netherlands

27’ England have just enjoyed their best passage of play potentially in the match, with both Hemp then Stanway having chances to cross the ball into the box, although they were intercepted by the defenders.

But the hosts are winning the ball back in midfield and having time on the ball for long periods of time.

England 0-1 Netherlands

24’ England finally have a chance, as Lauren James shakes off a challenge to drive towards the Dutch box, but instead of taking her time she decides to shoot from distance and the ball sails over the bar.

England 0-1 Netherlands

23’ From the corner, the ball came out to Roord and her lofted attempt rebounded off the crossbar.

England need to change something here. There is a place for Team GB in the Olympics at stake.

England 0-1 Netherlands

22’ England are struggling to get a foothold in this game, and even keep the ball for long periods of time at the moment.

The Dutch are easily winning the ball back in midfield before being able to launch their own attacks, and have been gifted a corner.
