EURO 2024 QUALIFIERS ROUND-UP: Nathan Ake scores twice but Netherlands can only beat minnows Gibraltar 3-0, while Sweden put five past Azerbaijan and Austria extend their winning streak

Holland bounced back from their opening European qualifying defeat against France to inflict a 3-0 win over minnows Gibraltar on Monday evening.

Memphis Depay bagged his 44th national team goal for Ronald Koeman's side after opening the scoring with a strike in the 23rd minute. But it was an evening that saw Manchester City defender Nathan Ake steal the show.

The centre-back has become a mainstay under City boss Pep Guardiola this season due to his impressive defending, but against Gibraltar it was his eye for a goal that stunned Holland's lower-ranked opposition.
