The Netherlands stunned struggling Germany 3-0 in UEFA Nations League action at the Amsterdam Arena on Saturday.
Virgil van Dijk's close-range header and late strikes from Memphis Depay and Georginio Wijnaldum gave the hosts a lifting win over the four-time world champions in Amsterdam.
The opening score came near the half-hour mark when Wijnaldum headed Depay's out-swinging corner off the crossbar before the Liverpool defender helped the ball over the line to give the Netherlands a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
Depay then sealed the points moments before the final whistle, finishing off a swift counter-attack with a cool finish from close range. And Wijnaldum added a third soon after.
The victory gives the Dutch their first points of the Nations League, placing them one point behind first-placed France in League A Group 1.
Meanwhile, Germany, who sit in last place, have just a point from their opening two matches.
