England v Netherlands: England fans sing the national anthem ahead of Nations League match

England will not win the inaugural Nations League after a heartbreaking extra-time semi-final defeat to the Netherlands.

Marcus Rashford gave the Three Lions the lead from the spot after Matthijs de Ligt lunged in late to trip the Manchester United striker in the box.

De Ligt made up for his mistake with a bullet header in the second-half to level before Jesse Lingard thought he had won it only to see his cool finish ruled out by VAR for offside.

Extra-time beckoned and a catastrophic John Stones mistake saw the ball eventually fall for Quincy Promes only for Kyle Walker to divert the ball into the net past a helpless Jordan Pickford.

Promes then added a second himself after an error from Ross Barkley as England's dreams were shattered in Guimaraes. Here's how a dramatic night unfolded.
