Memphis Depay became the Netherlands’ all-time leading goalscorer in the World Cup qualifying win over Lithuania on Sunday.
Corinthians forward Depay, 31, scored his record-setting 51st international goal in the 11th minute, surpassing Robin van Persie’s tally.
Depay wasn’t done there, scoring the winner as Netherlands snuck past Lithuania 3-2 after a spirited fightback from the hosts.
The Dutch were 2-0 up after Quinten Timber‘s strike before goals from Gvidas Ginetis and Edvinas Girdvainis got Lithuania level in an entertaining first half.
Then, with half-an-hour remaining, Depay nodded home a Denzel Dumfries cross to hand Ronald Koeman‘s side the win.
Depay played for PSV, Manchester United, Lyon, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid before moving to Brazil last year.
He made his Netherlands debut in 2013 and scored his first goal against Australia at the 2014 World Cup.
