England succumbed to a late and dramatic defeat to the Netherlands on Tuesday night in a result that blows theirgroup wide open, with Renate Jansen's thunderous 90th-minute winner ensuring an unsuccessful return home for Lionesses head coach Sarina Wiegman. England struggled to get into the game in Utrecht and the Dutch got their deserved lead just after half time. Jackie Groenen blocked Georgia Stanway's clearance and it ricocheted right into the path of the seemingly offside Danielle van de Donk, but the flag stayed down and she picked out Lieke Martens, who curled the ball into the top corner.

England could've been level at the break, Rachel Daly hitting the post with a snapshot effort in the box before both Lauren Hemp and Lucy Bronze were denied by the impressive Daphne van Domselaar. But the Dutch might've been 2-0 up, too, with Lineth Beerensteyn striking the woodwork.Wiegman would see her England side equalise in the second half after a change of shape, with Alessia Russo reacting well to Georgia Stanway's blocked shot to finish into the top corner.
