Liverpool midfielder Wijnaldum scores brace for the Netherlands

Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum helped new manager Frank De Boer to his first win as Netherlands coach.

De Boer endured a muted start to his reign after a loss to Mexico and three draws.

But he finally got his maiden win, as the Dutch defeated Bosnia-Herzegovina 3-1 in the UEFA Nations League.

Wijnaldum popped up with two goals in the first 13 minutes of the match in Holland.

Smail Prevljak gave Bosnia-Herzegovina hope, but the Dutch got another goal from Memphis Depay to seal the win.
