Double Dutch delight for Huntelaar

Striker Huntelaar, who also grabbed a hat-trick against San Marino on Friday, put the Dutch in front after seven minutes when he headed in a cross from Wesley Sneijder.

He then doubled the lead nine minutes later by converting a penalty.

"We started very promisingly with good, fast, combination football," Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk told a news conference.

"On the bench we expected to settle the match before the break... but the goal we conceded changed a lot."

"After the two early goals we conceded we managed to turn it around," said Baxter.

"We had our chances to equalise. I am just glad we don't have to play against a keeper like Stekelenburg every week."
