Memphis Depay has made history by becoming the joint all-time top scorer for the Netherlands, matching Robin van Persie’s record of 50 goals.
The Dutch forward, who has Ghanaian roots, achieved this milestone in just 102 international appearances, the same number of games it took Van Persie to reach the mark.
Depay scored two goals in the Netherlands’ World Cup qualifier against Malta, opening the scoring with a penalty and adding a second with a superb finish.
The Netherlands won the match, and with this victory, they remain tied at the top of Group G alongside Poland.
The group also features Finland, Lithuania, and Malta, and only the winner will qualify automatically for the World Cup.
The second-placed team will head to the play-offs, where 16 European teams will compete for the remaining four spots.Depay’s achievement is a testament to his skill and dedication to the sport.
He continues to be a key player for the Netherlands, and his goal-scoring record is impressive.
