Half-time and so far so good, Netherlands are 3-0 at the break and Malta will hope it's not more, after the break.

Second-half underway in Groningen with Dutch looking to build on their 3-0 lead against a shattered Malta side.

Manager Ronald Koeman has rung in the changes with Matts Wiefer and Noa Lang making way. Liverpool pair of Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo have gone off.

The Netherlands are 4-0 on the night with Xavi Simons adding another goal in the Oranje kitty.

The Dutch are 5-0 up and this time it's Aston Villa forward Donyell Malen who adds the game's fifth goal. With over 15 minutes of game still to play, it could get even worse for the Maltin side.

Donyell Malen has scored a brace and also set up a goal for Noa Lang as the Oranje see themselves go 7-0 up against Malta.

Wonder what has Jamie Carragher has made of his son's performance tonight, James. The Wigan Athletic defender has conceded 7-0 so won't be a good night in the Carragher household.
