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.

73 mins: GOAL! De Ligt

The Netherlands win another corner, it's fired into the middle of the box and De Ligt loses Walker and jumps higher than Stones to fire the header into the bottom corner. 

It's all level in Portugal!

Netherlands 1 - 1 England 

77 mins: The good thing is that goal has shocked some life into England. They'd been holding off and holding off just letting the Netherlands come at them. It was only going to end one way. A little shove on De Ligt by Kane ends the attack.

Delph goes off and Henderson comes on.

80 mins: Van de Beek sends one over the bar. England lose all their shape at the back and allow the ball to come in from the right, Chilwell parries it up and Van de Beek latches onto it with a shot.

Lingard squeezes the ball to Sterling who slots it into the box for Kane, Kane shoots but hits a defender.

83 mins: GOAL! - Lingard

ENGLAND! They're back in front, and it's a great goal. Stones gives the ball to Chilwell who runs it forward, gives it to Sterling who knocks it back to Barkley. Barkley sends it into the box and Lingard runs onto it and slots it past Cillessen.
