Wout Weghorst was used as part of an attempted rescue act, just 33 minutes into the Netherlands' crushing defeat to France.
The Manchester United forward started Holland's opening Euro 2024 qualifier at the Stade de France on the bench, and watched as his teammates were torn apart by the World Cup runners-up.
Goals from Antoine Griezmann, Dayot Upamencano and Kylian Mbappe put Didier Deschamps side 3-0 up inside 22 minutes and it prompted a quick response from the Dutch.
Boss Ronald Koeman made the merciful decision to hook Ajax youngster Kenneth Taylor and replace him with the experience of United striker Weghorst, with only half an hour of the game played.
