  1. Post update

    England

    And that is that.

    No point reflecting on the heartache that followed in that tournament right now, let's just bask in the warm glow of an exceptional England performance - what a team.

    Hopefully that gets you in the mood for next week's return of the Premier League but for now, that's it from me. See you later!

  2. FAST FORWARD

    Alan Shearer

    Former England captain on Euro 96: When Football Came Home

    That performance and that night against a team of Holland's calibre was something special.

    Everyone was a 10 out of 10.

  3. FAST FORWARD

    Terry Venables

    Tottenham manager on Euro 96: When Football Came Home

    It was perfection. It was super special.

  4. FAST FORWARD

    Barry Davies

    BBC commentator on Euro 96; When Football Came Home

    That was the best performance I have ever seen from an England team. The best performance.

  5. 'I knew the goals would come'

    .

    England goalscorer Alan Shearer: "I have always said I have faith in my own ability and thankfully the manage does too. I knew the goals would come.

    "I had a barren run but as soon as the first goal goes in a few more usually follow."

  6. 'I'll have an extra cup of tea tonight'

    .

    England manager Terry Venables: "There was very little that did not please me. The team work and the movement pleased me particularly.

    "The second half performance against Scotland gave the lads some more belief. In saying all that it doesn't make us a great team, it sends us into the quarter-finals but I will probably have an extra cup of tea tonight."

  7. FULL-TIME

    That's it! All over! England are though to the Euro 1996 quarter-finals.

    What a result and what a performance!

    A day to forget for the Dutch although they do still go through, Patrick Kluivert's consolation ensuring they progress on goal difference.

  8. Post update

    Netherlands 1-4 England

    Barry Davies

    BBC commentator at Wembley

    Who in the England crowd would have come here tonight hoping at this point for a fifth goal?

  9. Post update

    Netherlands 1-4 England

    Patrick Kluivert directs a header wide from a free-kick as the Netherlands look to bring the deficit down to two.

    Just a few minutes now until England fans can really celebrate.

  10. PENALTY APPEAL

    Lovely again from England and should it have been a penalty? Nicky Barmby plays a one-two with Robbie Fowler and appears to be brought down inside the box as he prepares to shoot, but nothing given.

    It would have only been the second layer of icing on an already sumptuous cake for England anyway.

  11. Post update

    Netherlands 1-4 England

    The oles are going around Wembley now as England look to close this one out, perhaps even sneak another goal.

    Six minutes left until one heck of party breaks out across England.

  12. 'England have bite'

    Netherlands 1-4 England

    David Pleat

    Former Tottenham manager at Wembley

    I think we can expect Kluivert will become a player who will start games for Holland from now. It is an important position. You have to have bite and that is what England have had tonight.

  13. Get involved #bbceuros

    Adam Salter: And after all this brilliance, all this fantastic interplay and attacking potency, we’d go on to score just one more goal in the rest of the tournament. Madness

    Steve Bishop: Missed the game due to a friend's wedding @BBCMOTD! Great to watch the full 90 minutes, complete performance against Holland. It's coming home?!

  14. CLOSE!

    England are still looking for more goals and Robbie Fowler is not too far off with a header.

  15. Post update

    Netherlands 1-4 England

    Barry Davies

    BBC commentator at Wembley

    It might prove to be important for Holland, that goal. Didn't produce too much reaction from the Dutch supporters, though.

  16. GOAL - Netherlands 1-4 England

    Patrick Kluivert

    Video caption: Euro 96 - England v Netherlands: Kluivert pulls goal back for the Dutch

    The Netherlands have one back and it is a lovely, lovely finish by the young Patrick Kluivert.

    Dennis Bergkamp teed it up for the Ajax teenager with a neat hooked ball into the box and Kluivert than calmly slotted the ball through David Seaman's legs.

    A nice finish but surely a consolation at this late stage.

  17. Get involved #bbceuros

    Brian Stokes: Crazy to think at this stage the Dutch were going out.

    Kelle Salle: I want the Netherlands to score one goal at least - I feel bad for them I know it’s 20+ years ago but still

  18. SUBSTITUTION

    Netherlands 0-4 England

    Double change for England now too as the goalscorers Alan Shearer and Teddy Sheringham go off with Nick Barmby and Robbie Fowler replacing them.

    They are both on one yellow card each so, although they were on for a hat-trick, a necessary precaution.

  19. Get involved #bbceuros

    Ben Stone: This game was probably the best I've seen England play during my lifetime. We really did play some brilliant football that day.

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    Netherlands 0-4 England

    Double change for the Dutch as Ronald de Boer is replaced by Philip Cocu while exciting Ajax teenager Patrick Kluivert comes on for Peter Hoekstra.
