Depay in the history of Dutch football

Straided by Poland three days ago in Rotterdam (1-1), the Netherlands took the best on Sunday on Lithuania, in Kaunas (2-3).

If the Balts were able to hang on and come back from 0-2 to 2-2 in the second half, the Bataves made the difference on a double of Depay (11e63e) and a Timber goal (33e).

From his first achievement of the day, the former Lyonnais thus became the top scorer in the history of the Oranje selection. With now 52 trays on his credit (in 104 games), Memphis Depay is ahead of his elder Robin Van Persie of two lengths at the top of the hierarchy.
