England suffered a EuroHockey semi-final defeat by the Netherlands for the second successive day as the men were beaten 3-1 in Amsterdam.

Mink van der Weerden, who won silver at London 2012, opened the scoring with a powerful low shot from a penalty corner after his first effort was blocked.

Mirco Pruyser made it 2-0 before he doubled his tally with a slick turn and strike in the third quarter.

Mark Gleghorne scored for England with a superb strike from a penalty corner.

Sunday’s final sees the Dutch face Belgium – the same two nations who are contesting the women’s final on Saturday.

England’s women, the defending champions, were beaten 1-0 by the Dutch on Thursday.
