England Keep Nations League Hopes Alive With Dramatic Netherlands Victory
Late Toone Winner Secures Crucial Three Points
Sensational Comeback Keeps Lionesses in Contention
In a thrilling encounter at Wembley, Ella Toone's late winner kept England's UEFA Women's Nations League hopes alive as the Lionesses fought back to secure a dramatic 3-2 victory over the Netherlands. The Lionesses needed to win to maintain their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages, and they did so in style, overcoming a two-goal deficit to claim all three points.
The Netherlands took an early lead through Lieke Martens, and Vivianne Miedema doubled their advantage before the break. However, England refused to give up, and Alessia Russo pulled one back just after the hour mark. Rachel Daly then levelled the scores with a stunning free-kick, before Toone popped up with the winner in the dying minutes.
The victory was a huge boost for England, who now have three points from their two games. They will face Switzerland in their final group game on Tuesday, knowing that a win would guarantee them a place in the semi-finals.
