Memphis Depay bags Netherlands record in win over Gibraltar

Memphis Depay bagged a new record for the Netherlands during Monday’s World Cup qualfiying win over Gibraltar in Rotterdam.

The Dutchman scored twice to make it 13 goals for his country in 2021 which is a new record, as shown by Opta.

Memphis had started the game by teeing up Virgil van Dijk for the opening goal from a corner and then went on to miss a penalty. However, he was quick to make amends by adding a second on 21 minutes.

The Barcelona attacker then had another chance from the spot in stoppage time at the end of the first half and this time made no mistake at all with his penalty to bring up the record.
