Uefa Nations League Finals LIVE: England vs Netherlands reaction plus Final build-up and team news

Uefa Nations League Finals - LIVE!

England crashed out of the Uefa Nations League at the semi-final stage on Thursday night after a 3-1 defeat to the Netherlands.

Inexplicable defensive errors proved to be the Three Lions' downfall in Guimaraes, with John Stones and Ross Barkley gifting goals to Ronald Koeman's side in extra-time.

A Kyle Walker own goal and further effort from Quincy Promes settled the tie after Matthijs de Ligt's thumping header had cancelled out a first-half penalty from Marcus Rashford.

England thought they had scored for a second time thanks to Jesse Lingard, only for VAR to intervene.

Gareth Southgate's men now face a third-place play-off against Switzerland at the Estadio D. Alfonso Henriques on Sunday, while the Netherlands advance to take on hosts Portugal in the final in Porto.

Follow all the reaction from England's loss and build-up to Sunday's final and third-place play-off with Jack Rosser in Portugal...
