Scotland vs England LIVE: Result and final score as Lionesses denied Olympic place despite huge win

Scotland 0-6 England: The Lionesses and Team GB were denied as the Netherlands struck in stoppage time to top Nations League Group A on goal difference

Sarina Wiegman hopes England will 'go wild' against Scotland

England blew Scotland away with a powerful 6-0 victory but on a night of high drama fell short of making the Nations League knockout stages as Team GB’s hopes of reaching next summer’s Olympic Games were ended.

A conflict of interest was widely discussed before the game as a victory for the Lionesses - the nominated nation on behalf of Team GB in qualification for Paris next year - was the only way any Scottish players would be able to feature at the Games.

Pedro Martinez Losa’s side, already relegated from League A1 ahead of their final game, were simply outclassed by a visiting side but the Netherlands’ 4-0 win over Belgium saw them top the group.

Defender Alex Greenwood headed the opener after 12 minutes, two goals in a minute by Lauren James and another by Beth Mead just before the break had the game done by the interval.

Striker Fran Kirby added a fifth with Lucy Bronze heading in what looked a crucial final goal in the third minute of added time - but Damaris Egurrola’s late brace for the Netherlands meant they pipped Sarina Wiegman’s side on goal difference.

Beth Mead speaking to BBC One after the game: “Devastated [to not finish top]. I think we did everything we possibly could on the pitch tonight. I thought the team were incredible but unfortunately, it wasn’t in our hands and Netherlands got the four goals. Fair play to them but devastated to miss out by such a small margin.

“We made sure we kept in communication. Serina [Wiegman] was feeding in what was happening in the other game so we kind of knew what we were meant to do. We got the late goal and thought we’d got over the line but unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be. That’s football.”

FULL-TIME: Scotland 0-6 England

How do England begin to process that? A mammoth 6-0 win for them and yet they will be trudging back to the dressing rooms knowing that their Olympic hopes are over with those two late Dutch goals.

One can point to their performances earlier in the Nations League campaign but you couldn’t have asked for more from Wiegman’s side tonight.

GOAL! Scotland 0-6 England (Bronze, 90+2 mins)

AND THEY HAVE A GOAL! England might not have known how important that was but Bronze finds the back of the net with virtually the last kick of the game.

England move back to the top of the group but on they play in the Netherlands...

90+1 mins: SAVE! A massive save from Earps who dives down to her right to palm Thomas’s header onto the post. The stand-in skipper made a mistake last time out against Netherlands but she has more than redeemed herself there.

86 mins: Stanway surges into the area but her effort is blocked. It’s been an all-action display from the Bayern Munich midfielder in this second half.
