England manager Roy Hodgson admits that he is unhappy with his side's performance during their 2-1 defeat to Netherlands, but does not believe that they deserved to lose.

England manager Roy Hodgson has admitted that he was unhappy with his side's performance in their 2-1 defeat to Netherlands this evening.

The Three Lions were unable to back up Saturday's memorable victory over world champions Germany as goals from Vincent Janssen and Luciano Narsingh cancelled out Jamie Vardy's opener at Wembley.

Both Netherlands goals had an air of controversy about them, with the first coming from the spot after Danny Rose had been penalised for handball and the second coming after Janssen had seemingly fouled Phil Jagielka inside the England box.

Hodgson hinted that he disagreed with both decisions but, despite acknowledging that his side were below par, insists that he has learned a lot from the defeat.

"I think we were hard done by and I don't think we deserved to lose the game, the way the two decisions went against us. It was nothing like the performance I was after. We weren't as intensive or incisive as we were against Germany," he told ITV Sport.

"We learned a lot. It was important to change the team and give the players a chance to show what they can do. I was most disappointed for the crowd of 82,000, which was fantastic, and it would have been nice to send them home with a victory.

"I'm certain that the two games will have helped me with the decision about who to take on the plane to France with us."

The defeat ends a nine-match winning streak at home for England that stretched back to November 2013.
