Refereeing decisions cost England against Netherlands, says Fraser Forster

Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster thinks England were undone by a couple of contentious refereeing decisions in the 2-1 defeat to the Netherlands.

Jamie Vardy opened the scoring for the hosts at Wembley but Vincent Janssen's penalty and a late winner from Luciano Narsingh delivered a reality check for Roy Hodgson's men following the 3-2 victory over Germany on Saturday.

Danny Rose protested when he was penalised for handball in the box, while Phil Jagielka appeared to be fouled by Janssen in the build-up to Narsingh's late strike.

"Nine times out of 10 you probably get the foul," Forster said of the latter incident.

"As Jags has gone to clear the ball, he's obviously just tripped him but the referee hasn't seen it. We've just got to take that and move on.

"On the penalty it's one of them where it could have gone either way. His hand is down by his side and there's so little reaction time but then it has hit his arm.

"So it's disappointing, both goals are hard to take. We probably deserved a bit more."

England lacked urgency and rarely looked like building on their surprise win in Berlin over the world champions.

Roy Hodgson's side did have the bulk of possession against the Dutch and constructed a fine move for Vardy's opening strike.

"There were lots of positives, I thought we really dominated the game," Forster said.

"We were good on the ball and really limited them in their chances.

"It would have been nice to follow up the Germany result with another positive result. It's just important we move forward now and prepare properly for the summer."

Forster is now Joe Hart's closest rival as first-choice after Stoke stopper Jack Butland confirmed he fractured his ankle against Germany and will miss Euro 2016.

Butland had to be carried off in the first half on Saturday and Forster, who returned from a nine-month absence with a knee injury earlier this year, expressed sympathy for his fellow goalkeeper.

"I didn't expect to play at all in Germany, it was disappointing for Jack and such an innocuous way to get injured," Forster said.

"I can only wish him the best for his recovery now. He's a top keeper and he'll come back stronger for it, I've got no doubt about that.

"For me, after so long out in the last year it's obviously nice to be back involved and back in the squad.

"It's a carrot for me now to work as hard as I can for the rest of the season for Southampton and go from there."
