Holland boosted their chances of securing a place at Euro 2020 last night with a 4-0 demolition of Estonia in Group C of qualifying.

A brace from Ryan Babel as well as goals from Memphis Depay and Georginio Wijnaldum ensured a demolition job for the Dutch.

The win followed on from their magnificent 4-2 victory over Germany over the weekend; offering hope that the disappointment of failing to qualify for the World Cup is finally behind them.

Liverpool man Wijnaldum netted his second goal in as many qualifying matches and delighted the club’s supporters in the process.

Under the management of Ronald Koeman, the maestro has a license to get forward and many supporters believe it is a role he can be utilised in by Jurgen Klopp.

The 28-year-old has a decent record with Holland. He has netted 13 goals and registered five assists from his 59 caps.

For context, he also has 13 goals for Liverpool but from 145 games for the Reds, with supporters keen for him to become the club’s goalscoring midfielder.

Following his latest goal, the army of Liverpool supporters have taken to Twitter to speak about Wijnaldum’s performance.

He seems a popular figure among the club’s contingent of fans and for once it is Wijnaldum being spoken about after a Holland game and not Virgil van Dijk.

Here is a selection of Tweets from Liverpool supporters regarding the £75,000-a-week star’s performance in Estonia:

Nothing needs to change from a Liverpool perspective, he plays in a midfield 3 an we're elite at what we do, got the best front 3 in the world destroying everyone every week so if it ain't broke don't fix it, he's an option for the gaffer if he wants to try something different
