Memphis Depay on target in comfortable Netherlands win at Euro 2020

Memphis Depay scored his first goal since signing for Barcelona on Monday as the Netherlands beat North Macedonia 3-0 at Euro 2020.

The forward finished off a slick counter to slot home after 24 minutes to give Frank de Boer’s side the lead at the Amsterdam Arena. The goal was checked by VAR for a potential foul by Daley Blind on Goran Pandev in the build-up but was allowed to stand.

North Macedona did have chances in the first half. Ivan Trichkovski thought he’d opened the scoring after latching onto a pass from Pandev and slotting past Maarten Stekelenberg but it was ruled out for offside.
