Hodgson laments loss of momentum by England
England manager Roy Hodgson said his team lost valuable momentum after losing 2-1 to the Netherlands in its final game before he announces his Euro 2016 squad.
Hoping to build on Saturday's rousing 3-2 win over world champion Germany in Berlin, England took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Jamie Vardy in Tuesday's friendly at Wembley, only for the Dutch to rebound with a Vincent Janssen penalty and a disputed Luciano Narsingh strike.
England faces a wait of two months before its next three friendlies - at home to Turkey, Australia and Portugal - and Hodgson said his squad will need to use those games to restore belief.
