Memphis Depay and Arjen Robben helps Netherlands win Luxembourg

Arjen Robben put the Netherlands in front after 36 minutes -- the Bayern Munich man latching onto a Georginio Wijnaldum pass on the right wing, cutting onto his favoured left foot and firing low and hard past Ralph Schon in the Luxembourg goal.
Undaunted, the hosts struck back just before the break with a goal of their own -- Maxine Chanot sending Maarten Stekelenburg the other way from the penalty spot after Joshua Brenet had fouled Daniel Alves Da Mota in the box.

However, second-half substitute Memphis Depay restored the Dutch advantage just minutes after coming on with a powerful header of a Daley Blind cross in the 58th.
And it was Depay who added the third -- and his second of the day -- six minutes before the whistle to seal the points. The Manchester United man curled his free kick over the wall and past Schon at the near post after Chanot had fouled Virgil van Dijk a few yards outside the box.

The win moves the Netherlands into second place in Group A, three points behind leaders France after four rounds.
