Goals from Kevin Strootman and Luuk de Jong made it eight wins from eight.

In Group D, Bosnia-Hercegovina beat Belarus 1-0 to close the gap on France at the top to a point after Les Bleus drew 0-0 in Romania.

Sunderland's Nicklas Bendtner scored twice for Denmark as they defeated Norway 2-0 to rise to second in Group H.

They now join their Scandinavian neighbours and Portugal on 13 points with a game in hand on the Norwegians.
