MILLIE BRIGHT slammed the absence of VAR absence in the Women\u2019s Nations League after England's 2-1 loss to the Netherlands following a goal that looked offside.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Renate Jansen\u2019s shot saw Sarina Wiegman endure a tough welcome home with the sub's late strike ruining the visitors' hopes of a draw.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the Netherlands\u2019 first-half opener on Tuesday night left their former head coach fuming.<\/p>\n

Officials failed to spot Danielle van de Donk in what looked an offside position in the build-up to the goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And there was no video assistant referee (VAR) to aid them during the clash at Stadion Galgenwaard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Defeat in Utrecht for the World Cup finalists put a dent in their bid to seal Team GB qualification for next year\u2019s Olympics<\/p>\n

It also saw them register their third loss this year and their third in 41 games under Wiegman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

England skipper Bright said: \u201cIt is always frustrating [to not have VAR].\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we push the level of the game to be so high and professional, yet we sometimes have VAR, sometimes don\u2019t, sometimes have goal-line technology. There is no consistency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, by no means is that an excuse. We put ourselves in that position – not clearing the ball, not getting out of pressure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut these are the differences in games as well and it is really unfortunate that these are still huge decisions that are incorrect.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s where we as players have to keep speaking about it, we have to step up, we have to demand better and demand more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is international football and we do not have VAR in a competitive international game, which is mind-blowing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Netherlands\u2019 controversial opener came in the 34th minute with England coming under pressure from the hosts pressing high up the pitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bright found herself having to clear a hopeful long ball forward to Lineth Beerensteyn early in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And the England captain blocked a shot from Victoria Pelova who was among her side\u2019s most threatening players on the counter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bright added: "We put ourselves in that position in the first couple of phases where we aren\u2019t clearing the ball, it ricochets off and she (Van de Donk) is clearly offside. <\/p>\n

"But I never want to make excuses in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"For both goals we put ourselves in positions to give them the opportunity to put the ball in the back of the net.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"So for us it is being a little bit tidier and also being better in the final third.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"No excuses off the back of a heavy summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"Unfortunately that is the schedule we are in and we have to keep moving forward, but we have to find ways to win."<\/p>\n

Martens gave the hosts a 34th minute-lead after England weathered pressure in the first half hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her goal came after Jackie Groenen charged down Georgia Stanway\u2019s attempt to clear with the ball ricocheting off Van de Donk who appeared offside before a shot was slammed home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked about officials failing to chalk off Marten\u2019s strike given Van de Donk\u2019s positioning, Wiegman said: \u201cI\u2019m very frustrated that the goal was [given] onside.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"First of all I thought our build wasn\u2019t necessary to do it that way but it was so obvious it was offside.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"I think the whole stadium thought it was offside so I\u2019m really disappointed about that. <\/p>\n

"When you talk about VAR, of course it would have taken away that goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"We need consistency in VAR. Either you have VAR or you don\u2019t have VAR. <\/p>\n

"Not have it in one game and then in another game you don\u2019t have VAR."<\/p>\n

The clash between England and their Dutch opponents was the first time Wiegman had overseen the Lionesses in a match against her compatriots in her homeland. <\/p>\n

The last encounter between two teams Wiegman led to Euros glory\u00a0 saw her current side thrash her former one 5-1 in a friendly last June.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This time round the Netherlands took the fight to England with Martens giving them a first half lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And the visitors looked to hit back with Lauren Hemp and Lucy Bronze prompting two stunning saves from Daphne van Domselaar with the Aston Villa summer signing shining in goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This was shortly before Lineth Beerensteyn hit the woodwork close to half time after jetting into the box with Jess Carter hot on her heels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The second spell saw England battle their way back with a Hemp effort cleared off the line before Alessia Russo nabbed a leveller with 26 minutes of normal time remaining.<\/p>\n

But Jansen dealt a blow to Lionesses\u2019 hopes of grabbing a draw pouncing <\/p>\n

The super sub, who came on close to the final whistle, pounced on a misplaced pass from Alex Greenwood to net a stoppage time winner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The loss for the Lionesses saw them drop to third behind the Netherlands in group A1 with Scotland clinching a\u00a0 1-1 draw with leaders Belgium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

England will hope to return to winning ways when they face Belgium home and away in their next two Women\u2019s Nations League fixtures in October.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last night's result brought an end to a busy period of internationalfixtures for England the with team returning to action next month. <\/p>\n

The Lionesses have played ten games in three months with little time for a break over the summer due to the World Cup and warm-up games prior to the tournament. <\/p>\n

And Wiegman expressed concern over players being left fatigued due to a busy international fixture schedule.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She added: "What we said before on the schedule was that it was very overloaded. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"What all the coaches say here in Europe is that we have to look at that schedule.\u00a0<\/p>\n
