Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum produced a brilliant display to help the Dutch claim their first win in Germany in almost 17 years.
Wijnaldum, who featured alongside fellow Reds teammate Virgil van Dijk, assisted and scored on the night as Netherlands beat Germany 4-2 in their EURO 2020 qualifier in Hamburg.
It's unusual for the 28-year-old to have a chance to display his attacking threat in a Reds shirt, however, he has often been tasked with that role for his national side and it was the same again on Friday evening.
With just ten minutes remaining and the scores level at 2-2, Wijnaldum made a fantastic run into the box as he looked to get at the German defence.

He played a fantastic chipped ball through to Dutch debutant Donyell Malen, who made no mistake with the pass to comfortably slot the ball into the back of the net.
Wijnaldum popped up once more as he darted across the length of the pitch after playing the ball forward from his half. A swift counter-attacking move saw Memphis Depay send a low cross into the box, with the Reds midfielder getting on the end of the move he started to secure Netherlands' victory.
