England 1-2 Holland: Dutch bring Three Lions back down to earth - 5 things we learned

The Leicester City striker found the net for the second time in four days at Wembley following Saturday's win in Berlin as Roy Hodgson's side suffered defeat

Jamie Vardy booked his seat on the plane to France and piled more pressure onEngland captain Wayne Rooney.

Vardy opened the scoring on a night when England were brought back to earth by a young Dutch side.

Holland hit back after going behind to Vardy’s first-half strike to send England to their first Wembley defeat since losing 1-0 to Germany in November 2013.

Vincent Janssen levelled from the spot for the Dutch before sub Luciano Narsingh tapped in a controversial 77th minute winner.

1) England have plenty of options

Roy Hodgson will be pleased with his attacking options.

Jamie Vardy was a constant threat up front and Hodgson is a big fan of Daniel Sturridge so will be pleased to have him back in an England shirt and in the mix.

2) England's defence is a big worry

But things aren't looking quite as secure at the back where many questions remained.

Mainly because of a shaky performance from John Stones England's potential first choice partnership with Chris Smalling requires work.

Neither full-back position seems nailed down by any of the candidates either.

3) Fraser Forster's performance was a concern

The Southampton stopper has moved up the pecking order after Jack

Butland's injury but was less than convincing against Holland.

That will be another worry for boss Roy Hodgson.

5) Touching tributes

The tributes to the the terrorism victims in Brussels and Dutch legend Johan Cruyff were impeccably observed.

You could hear a pin drop during the minute's silence for the victims in Brussels before Wembley stood as one to honour Cruyff in the 14th minute.

England 1-2 Holland player ratings: Who was your man of the match at Wembley?

Jamie Vardy's opener was cancelled out by a Vincent Janessen penalty before Luciano Narsingh gave the Dutch a win at Wembley

England went sent crashing back to earth as they followed up Saturday's win in Germany with a 2-1 defeat to Holland at Wembley .

Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater was handed his Three Lions debut by Roy Hodgson and he saw his Foxes team-mate Jamie Vardy put England 1-0 up four minutes before half-time as the hosts stirred following a slow start.

But the visitors , who have not qualified for Euro 2016, pulled level five minutes after the break, when Vincent Janessen levelled from the spot after a Danny Rose handball.

Substitute Luciano Narsingh then scored a controversial winner, with the Englandplayer venting their fury at the referee as they believe Phil Jagielka was fouled in the build up.

Adrian Kajumba was at Wembley and he has dished out his player ratings.

England

Forster 6 - Looks nervous when has to use feet but good saves denied Affelay, Wijnaldum and Janssen.

Walker 7 - Typically attacking display. Bombed forward all game and was in six-yard box to set up Vardy’s opener.

Smalling 7 - Growing in confidence bringing the ball out and relished the physical battle with Janssen.

Stones 6 - Sometimes he is almost too comfortable on ball. Second-half slip eventually led to Dutch equaliser.

Rose 7 - Good outlet down the left. Got away with one penalty shout but punished for second.

Drinkwater 7 - Can be happy with his debut. Caught eye with his defensive work in front of back four.

Lallana 6 - Excellent skill and composure to help set up opening goal the highlight of his night.

Milner 6 - Usual effort and commitment from stand-in skipper but was on fringes of the game.

Barkley 6 - Mixed bag. At times sloppy but also dangerous in flashes. Went close in fro long range in first half.

Vardy MOTM 8 - England’s biggest threat. Always looked dangerous. Scored one and denied brilliant second by stunning save.

Sturridge 6 - Eased himself back in on first England appearance for almost two years. Went close once.
