An incredible game in Hereford saw Turkey comeback to beat England in the Four Nations Tournament.

The visitors dominated the first half and took a 2-0 lead showing why they are ranked 30 places higher than England.

However, Pete Sturgess's side started the second period in energetic fashion, grabbing three quick-fire goals to race into a 3-2 lead.

England then absorbed wave after wave of Turkish attacks before finally conceding an equaliser with five minutes remaining.

Extra-time was looming until Turkey stole the game with almost the last kick of the game - just three seconds were left on the clock.

A cruel finish to a brave England performance.
