Red-hot Memphis Depay nets hat-trick as Netherlands hit Turkey for six

The Barcelona summer signing needed just one minute to get the Oranje up and running by providing an assist for Davy Klaassen to open the scoring.
Klaassen then returned the favor on 16 minutes with a great flick for Memphis to latch on to and then dispatch a brilliant finish past the goalkeeper.
There was more to come from Memphis too before the half-time break. Netherlands won a penalty when Klaassen was tripped by Caglar Soyuncu which offered Memphis another chance to score.
