An early double from Brian Brobbey, two more in the second half for Cody Gakpo and a late goal from Crysencio Summerville helped the Netherlands notch up an impressive 5-1 win over Sweden at the World Cup on Saturday.
Brobbey, chosen ahead of record scorer Memphis Depay, scored twice in the opening 17 minutes to give the Dutch the early initiative and two goals in a seven-minute spell soon after the break from Gakpo put them into an unassailable lead.
Substitute Anthony Elanga pulled one back in the 59th minute of a free-flowing game but it proved only a consolation for Sweden rather than sparking a fightback, and the Dutch rout was complete when Summerville slalomed his way to the edge of the box to finish neatly in the final minute.
The Netherlands top Group F with four points while Sweden stayed on three after two matches, having beaten Tunisia 5-1 in their opener.
