Page with same name as subfolder not resolving after removing .php extension using htaccess

so I have a relatively simple site where all the pages have a .php extension, i.e about.php, gallery.php etc. I also have a services.php file and also a subfolder in the directory named services. For greater clarity my structure is below:

root
|
|-index.php
|-about.php
|-gallery.php
|-services.php
|-contact.php
|-services/
  |-service-one.php
  |-service-two.php
  |-service-three.php
  |-service-four.php

As you'll see I have a services.php and services folder. In the root I have the following htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

This allows about.php, for example, to be accessed without the .php extension so http://www.domain.com/about works as about.php would. However when I try http://www.domain.com/services, I get neither the directory listing or the services.php page. I get the following message which gives a couple of clues.

The requested URL /services/.php was not found on this server.

I've been unable to find a way to resolve this, I'm wondering if I need an htaccess in the /services folder?

Thank you.

You need to tweak your regex to match everything before last /:

DirectorySlash Off
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [L,R=301,NE]

Also note modification in RewriteCond to check for existence of .php file.
