AMSTERDAM: Tijjani Reijnders scored a first-half hat-trick as the Netherlands thrashed Greece 7-0 on Friday to move closer to securing a place in the Nations League quarter-finals.

Crysencio Summerville capitalised on a defensive lapse to give the Dutch an early lead in Amsterdam, before former Manchester City midfielder Reijnders doubled the advantage.

Reijnders struck again from close range before completing his hat-trick in the 33rd minute when he squeezed home at the far post.
