Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum scored twice in a comfortable victory for the Netherlands against Bosnia-Herzegovina in their Nations League group match.

It was just their second victory in five Nations League matches.

Skipper Wijnaldum slotted in from close range when he was unmarked after six minutes, before tapping in a second from Steven Berghuis' header.

Lyon forward Memphis Depay made it 3-0 with another tap-in after the break.

Bosnia-Herzegovina forward Smail Prevljak guided it past Tim Krul in the second half to make it 3-1 but it was a dominant performance from the Netherlands, who ended a run of five games without a win.

In the other match in group A1, Italy recorded a 2-0 win over Poland to move them a point above the Netherlands at the top of the table.

On Wednesday, Italy travel to Bosnia and the Netherlands are in Poland in the final group games, with the side finishing top of the group qualifying for the Nations League finals.
