Netherlands were robbed by the referee against England and Virigl van Dijk had an understandable reaction to this at full time.

The 33-year-old stated that he had experience of Felix Zwayer and wasn’t worried about his integrity but was unhappy with some of the decisions that went against his side.
When you look at the penalty that was given against the Dutch, it’s hard for them to not feel hard done to.
