He is now joint-eighth on the list of all time top scorers with Cruyff and Abe Lenstra.
After the match, Depay said: “It’s great. I want to be in the top three of the top scorers list. They (Cruyff and Lenstra) are two legends, you can’t compare them to anyone. They have done so many things and put Netherlands on the map.”
