England saw their dreams of Nations League glory dashed as the Netherlands prevailed in a see-saw semi-final in Guimaraes.

The Three Lions led through Marcus Rashford's first-half penalty but Matthijs De Ligt's equaliser saw the contest go to extra-time.

John Stones' error led to a Kyle Walker own goal before Quincy Promes wrapped things up and send the Dutch through to Sunday's final against Portugal.

Netherlands 0 - 1 England 

45 mins: Finally a yellow card for Dumfries. The ball comes down the left, in the air, to Chilwell. Dumfries jumps but is nowhere near the ball and he clatters Chilwell who hits the deck hard.

45+2 mins: The medics see to him and allow him to play on. Chilwell takes the free kick and sends it low into the box. The Netherlands clear and get the ball down the other end. John Stones tries to play out from the back and allows Wijnaldum to get the ball, take a shot and win a corner.

Stones jumps under the ball as it comes in and De Ligt wins the header but sends it wide. The referee blows the whistle and England go in at halt-time with a one-goal advantage.

It hasn't been the most thrilling of games so far. England look sluggish and are finding it hard to get anything going. The attacking threat of Sterling, Rashford and Sancho have been the difference between the two sides.

Improvements are needed in the second half to close out this game but as it stands England are only 45 minutes away from the Nations League final on Sunday.

Declan Rice and Fabian Delph completed 100% of their passes in the first half but they didn't do much with it. Out of the three English mid-fielders Ross Barkley was by far the most creative and forward thinking.

SECOND HALF: Harry Kane comes on for Marcus Rashford, who got a knock in the first half.

48 mins: Wijnaldum sends a searching ball forward for Dumfries but he puts too much on it and sends it out of play.

51 mins: Sterling makes a quick run in behind the defence but a delayed offside flag comes up as he wins a corner. De Roon brings down Barkley and England have a free kick. It comes in to the right of the box for Harry Maguire who tries to send it back across or maybe it's a shot? Either way the danger is cleared.

54 mins: Sterling runs the ball into the box and wins a corner. The ball comes in gets headed out as far as Delph. Delph puts the ball back into the box with a glorious cross and finds Sancho. Sancho has a free header but fires it at Cillessen who saves it. 

At the other end Walker gives the ball away to Depay who shoots and makes Pickford dive to save it.
