Netherlands Advance to UEFA Women's Euro 2017 Final After 3-0 Win vs. England

Hosts the Netherlands booked their place in the UEFA Women's Euro 2017 final on Thursday as they beat England 3-0 at the De Grolsch Veste Stadium in Enschede.

Vivianne Miedema opened the scoring in the first half with a lovely header before Danielle van de Donk capitalised on a defensive error to double their tally shortly after the hour mark, while Millie Bright's own goal completed the scoring in the 93rd minute.

The Netherlands will take on Denmark in Sunday's final following their penalty shootout win over Austria.

A somewhat scrappy start saw the hosts control much of the possession as England struggled to keep hold of the ball, but it took some time before they were able to forge any clear-cut chances in the face of some typically resolute defending from the Lionesses.
