Double defeat for England in Pro League

The England men's and women's hockey teams both lost Pro League games in London on Sunday to complete a disappointing weekend for the hosts.

The men were beaten 3-2 by Germany, with the women defeated 1-0 by second-placed Argentina.

Two penalty goals from Zach Wallace twice brought the men level in the third quarter against Germany, only for Raphael Hartkopf to score the winner with five minutes remaining.

England's result means they drop to sixth in the standings, with Germany moving above them and up to fourth.

The teams also met on Saturday when they fought out a 2-2 draw, Germany winning a subsequent penalty shootout to earn a bonus point.

Next up for the men is a double-header against the Netherlands, with the first match on Tuesday at 13:15 BST at Lee Valley.

Agustina Gorzelany's goal at the start of the second quarter was enough to see England's women beaten by Argentina, having lost 3-1 to the same opponents on Saturday.

England remain bottom of the standings with two games against Australia next up, again starting on Tuesday, at 11:00 BST.
