    Unbelievable scenes. I just don't know what to say.

    England have done everything they possibly could. To score six goals tonight after coming back from two goals down the other night.

    Huge disappointment for England.

    Fair play to the Netherlands for doing their job tonight.

    It's over in the Netherlands. The Dutch win 4-0.

    That's wild.

  4. Postpublished at 21:39 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2023

    That's staggering, absolutely staggering.

    England's 6-0 win over Scotland isn't enough as it stands.

    Wow.

    Embarrassing from Scotland.

    Remember, the Netherlands need one more goal.

    It's not over in the Netherlands as the Dutch lead 3-0.

    The drama here.

  9. GOAL! Scotland 0-6 Englandpublished at 21:35 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2023

    Just as the Netherlands have scored!

    That's unbelievable, with the last attack of the match, Lucy Bronze heads in at the back post.

    Is that the goal that confirms top spot?

    That's an incredible save from Mary Earps there.

    What a save from Mary Earps.

    Yes she may have made a mistake in the Netherlands game but this is top drawer goalkeeping here.

    Scotland 0-5 England

    A huuuuge moment. And a huuuuge save from Mary Earps!

    Martha Thomas heads towards the bottom-left corner and the England keeper claws it away.

    The ball then catches Lucy Bronze's heel and hits the post.

    Wild.

    Alex Greenwood bends another free-kick into the Scotland box and Nicola Docherty heads it towards her own goal.

    Lee Gibson claims with relief.

    We've got away with one there...

    Fiona Brown went to ground, which I thought was extremely risky, but thankfully Rachel Corsie gets the block in.

    What's impressed me tonight from England, aside from the goals, is the speed at which they win the ball back.

    As soon as they lose it they are running and running, pressing the Scotland players so hard until they get it back.

    Ten minutes to go in Tilburg.

    One more goal for the Netherlands - who lead Belgium 2-0 - will take them top.

    I feel the introduction of Martha Thomas has been a turning point in the game for Scotland. It's given them confidence. When the ball goes long, she can hold it up and offer something else.

    I've seen a real difference in the team since that moment.
