Soccer-Morale boosting win for Dutch over Georgia

Memphis Depay, Wout Weghorst and teenager Ryan Gravenberch scored for the Netherlands on Sunday as they beat Georgia 3-0 in Enschede to record a morale-boosting victory ahead of the European Championship. Depay tucked away a 10th-minute penalty but Georgia finished the first half stronger as they had more shots on goal and pushed their hosts repeatedly onto the back foot.

The home team resumed command of the game after the break, spurred on by 7,500 spectators, with Weghorst scoring his first international goal as they doubled the lead in the 55th minute. Gravenberch, who only turned 19 last month, reacted quickest to head home a rebound in the 76th minute for the third goal of the game. (Writing by Mark Gleeson in Cape Town; Editing by Toby Davis)
