Tijjani Reijnders celebrated his hat-trick goal with a three-finger gesture

Tijjani Reijnders scored a first-half hat-trick as the Netherlands thrashed previously unbeaten Greece in the Nations League.

Arsenal's Jurrien Timber also netted his first two international goals in the Amsterdam rout.

Former Leeds and West Ham forward Crysencio Summerville gave the Dutch an early lead after pouncing on a defensive mistake.

And then ex-Manchester City midfielder Reijnders, now at Al-Qadsiah, bagged three between the 12th and 33rd minute for Xavi Hernandez's side.

He blasted his first in from Joey Veerman's through ball and then turned in Donyell Malen's ball from close range.

His hat-trick goal came from Denzel Dumfries' header - his 11th international goal.

Roma's Malen then picked out Timber to add a fifth before half-time.

Timber slotted in another from Dumfries' ball - and ex-Aston Villa man Malen slammed in a seventh.

The unbeaten Netherlands top Group A2 by three points from Greece and Germany, who won 3-1 away to bottom side Serbia.

The top two teams will reach the quarter-finals, while the team who finishes third may end up in a relegation play-off.

Germany host the Dutch in Monday's final game, with Greece at home to Serbia.
