Match overview
England produced an exhilarating 11-minute spell after half-time to sweep aside the Dutch. Shearer’s penalty set the tone, Sheringham’s brace book-ended another Shearer strike, and Kluivert’s late consolation edged the Netherlands into the last eight at Scotland’s expense on goals scored.
Trivia
The 4-1 score remains England’s largest tournament win against top-tier opposition and is often cited as Wembley’s greatest night since the 1966 World Cup final.
