Holland U21 v England U21
Fielding denies Dutch[LNB]England Under-21s came under sustained pressure but escaped with a goalless draw against their Dutch counterparts.[LNB]In a game with plenty of chances for both sides it was the goalkeepers who came out smiling at the end as a combination of some fine saves and a handful of bad misses kept the sheets clean at both ends.[LNB]There was a 30-minute run out for hotly-tipped Jack Wilshere - mentioned as a possible senior call-up for the World Cup - but the Arsenal teenager struggled to make an impact.[LNB]The introduction of Wilshere was one of eight changes that manager Stuart Pearce made through the course of the game as he looks to replace a number of stars who graduated from the team following the European Championships.[LNB]England were restricted to long-range efforts in the first half, but neither Jack Rodwell nor Michael Mancienne could do much to worry Newcastle's Tim Krul in the Dutch goal. [LNB]Micah Richards had the best chances of the first half for England but he headed over and then his low shot was held by Krul.[LNB]The Dutch, meanwhile, were creating plenty of chances, with another Arsenal youngster, Nacer Barazite, at the centre of most things they did.[LNB]However, Watford's Scott Loach stood firm in the England goal before being replaced by Blackburn youngster Frank Fielding, on loan at Rochdale, at half-time.[LNB]The game became disrupted as the substitutes piled on early in the second half but once the changes were made, Barazite resumed to terrorising the England defence, forcing Fielding into a good parried save in the 69th minute.[LNB]It was Fielding who England could thank for a draw as he pulled off an outstanding save to deny Vurnon Anita with two minutes left in the match.
