Matchday LIVE: England, Scotland and Netherlands enjoy Euro 2020 warm-up friendly wins

It was an eventful evening with England, Scotland and Netherlands all getting victories in their final tests before Euro 2020. Now it's on to the real stuff next week. Until then, goodbye!

That's it for now!

<center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> I’ve always been in the mindset that you don’t need an armband to be a leader on the pitch but I can’t lie, this feeling is unexplainable.

Wearing captain's armband unexplainable, says Rashford

Jordan Henderson was happy to be back on the field for England. The midfielder missed the midweek match against Austria and came on in the second half for the Three Lions on Sunday, but scuppered a chance to double his side's lead with a penalty. He said: "Feeling very good, to get back onto the pitch was pleasing for me. I came through 45 minutes after a while out so happy with that and felt pretty good as well during the game. Delighted with that and have another week's training until the first game so hopefully I can recover well. "I didn't need to take any risks with the Austria friendly, I have been training hard with the England team and did not feel 100% going into that game. We thought the wisest thing to do was to get ready for the Romania game and I felt good and it was important. Overall, the right decision. I am getting stronger all the time." Asked about the penalty, Henderson said:&nbsp;"I was confident but it was a good save, it wasn't a great penalty, a good height for the goalkeeper but I am not too bothered. It would have been nice to cap the comeback off with a goal."

Kane: Good momentum for England

Frank de Boer says Netherlands are ready to get the Euro 2020 campaign started after beating Georgia. The 3-0 win is their last game before next week's clash with Ukraine in the tournament opener and although De Boer sees room for improvement, he says his team are up to the challenge. "We can still improve defensively and in attack," he told NOS. "But we now have a week to focus on Ukraine. We are ready."

Sam Johnstone was elated to make his first appearance for England. The goalkeeper put in a good performance as they beat Romania and told BBC Radio 5 Live:&nbsp;"I appreciate the manager to give me that [cap] and I really enjoyed it out there and thankfully I kept the clean sheet as well. "It's things you dream about. I mentioned at the start of the season now that I'm in the Premier League that I'd like to get a call-up and that happened in March. The standard is so high but I'm enjoying it."

Johnstone grateful for first England cap

Lyndon Dykes believes Scotland should have beaten Luxembourg by four or five goals. Che Adams' goal was the difference between the two sides, but Steve Clarke's team had two disallowed and more big chances. "On another day, it could have been four or five nil, but everyone is full of confidence. Me and Che Adams&nbsp;did really well linking up for the goal and for the red card," he said.

England boss Gareth Southgate admits his side had enough chances to stretch their lead against Romania but felt they improved in the second period. He said to ITV Sport: "Yes, we had chances to make it more comfortable but so did they, the first half we did not work hard enough without the ball, we were too stretched and did not press well. "After half-time, I thought we improved and it was helpful we went to 4-3-3 later and I have to say it was a good exercise, players needed the minutes and learned a lot from the game. Good to win." Jordan Henderson missed a penalty in the second half and Southgate expected the captain to let Dominic Calvert-Lewin to take the shot. "We had Marcus Rashford on penalties then James Ward-Prowse but both came off," he said. "We expected Dominic Calvert-Lewin to take it and I was expecting Hendo to go over to him and let him take it. We will pull rank next time."

England improved in second half, says Southgate

Marcus Rashford was proud to wear the captain's armband for England in Sunday's 1-0 win against Romania. It is the first time he has captained the side and he says he has dreamed of doing so since he was a child. "It is definitely a great moment for me (being captain). It is something you dream of when you are a kid," he said to ITV Sport. "Today I accomplished that. It was difficult. We had to stick together and work. It was challenging defensively. But we created a lot of chances. We did well from set-pieces both attacking and defensively. Ultimately that is what won us the game."

Captaining England was 'a dream come true' for Rashford

England win six in a row

It's all over. England managed to defend their lead to seal a 1-0 win against Romania. Scotland got the better of Luxembourg and got a 1-0 victory despite having two goals ruled out and a one-man advantage for most of the game. Memphis Depay, Wout Weghorst and Ryan Gravenberch all found the net as Netherlands beat Georgia 3-0. And Denmark ran out 2-0 winners against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Denmark 2-0 up against Bosnia-Herzegovina

Billy Gilmour has gone off injured, though it looks like a precautionary measure. The midfielder was wiped out by&nbsp;Olivier Thill, who was booked just after coming on. James Forrest has replaced Gilmour.

England could have gone 2-0 up there. Jordan Henderson stepped up to take a penalty after Dominic Calvert-Lewin was fouled. But the Liverpool midfielder has missed his effort! England made some more substitutions, meanwhile, with Jesse Lingard replacing Marcus Rashford and Kieran Trippier coming on for Luke Shaw.

Netherlands are 3-0 up! Ryan Gravenberch popped up to head over the line after Memphis Depay had a shot saved. The 19-year-old is making just his fourth appearance for Oranje and had a stellar season at Ajax.

Sam Johnstone has pulled off a great save to keep England in the lead. It's still 1-0 to Gareth Southgate's men.

Brilliant save by Johnstone!

Scotland have a numerical advantage against Luxembourg now. Lyndon Dykes was played through by Che Adams but Luxembourg centre-back Vahid Selimovic pulled him down and was shown a red card.

Luxembourg down to 10 men

Dominic&nbsp;Calvert-Lewin has come close to scoring for England. The striker saw a looping header sail over the goalkeeper but it hit the bar. It remains goalless between the Three Lions and Romania.

David Marshall has kept Scotland level with Luxembourg with a nice save from a corner. The goalkeeper got down low to keep the ball out in what was almost an own goal from Grant Hanley.

Memphis Depay has given Netherlands the lead. The attacker blasted into the bottom corner from the penalty spot and the goalkeeper went the other way.&nbsp; An excellent penalty from the main man.

Memphis scores!

Oranje defender Denzel Dumfries has been brought down in the box. The Dutch have been awarded a spot kick.

Penalty to Netherlands!

The games have begun and Georgia have had an early effort saved by Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.&nbsp; It was a smart passing move as Daley Blind was exposed at the back, though the shot was a fairly easy save for the veteran goalkeeper. Hopefully an indication we are in for an exciting evening!

We are off!
