Today’s back pages: woeful England throw it away and sink like a Stones


Netherlands will play Portugal in Sunday’s Uefa Nations League final after beating England 3-1 after extra-time in Guimaraes last night.

England had taken a first-half lead in the semi-final, but the Dutch levelled to force the game into extra-time.

In the added 30 minutes two costly errors by England’s defence handed the Netherlands two goals.

A mistake by John Stones led to an own goal from Kyle Walker and then Ross Barkley’s back-pass ended with Quincy Promes scoring Holland’s third.

England “throw it away” says The Times while The Daily Telegraph calls the Three Lions’ defensive display a “calamity”.

The Northern Echo also slams England’s woeful show in extra-time. “Total football? Total shambles” reads the Echo’s back page headline.
