Memphis Depay wasted no time in getting the Netherlands off the mark in their World Cup qualifier against Lithuania.
The Oranje forward broke the deadlock after just 12 minutes with a well-taken close-range finish.

In the process, Depay set himself apart as the Netherlands all-time record goalscorer, nudging ahead of previous holder Robin van Persie.
In addition to the former Manchester United and Arsenal great, the Dutch have had countless world-class forwards, most famously Johan Cruyff and Marco van Basten, which only amplifies Memphis' achievement.
How many more will he net for the national team before all is said and done?
