The Netherlands got their UEFA Women's European Championship campaign off to a flying start with a dominant 3-0 victory over Wales, leaving the Dragons without a win in any of their last seven matches (D2, L5).


The Netherlands taking the lead until the third minute of added time of the first half.


The goal came from a familiar source, with their all-time top goalscorer Vivianne Miedema bending in her 100th goal for the Oranje on her 126th appearance.


The Dragons started the second half in the worst possible way, with Danielle van de Donk racing beyond the Welsh defence before cutting the ball back to Victoria Pelova, who slotted the ball across Clark and into the bottom-left corner.


It was only a short reprieve for Wales though, and they found themselves three goals behind with under an hour played, after Esmee Brugts turned in Pelova’s searching cross at the back post.


Ultimately, the Dutch had to settle for a 3-0 victory that sees them climb to the top of Group D ahead of England's match against France later this evening.


Jonker will be proud of his side on both fronts, with the Oranje not only looking good in attack but also keeping their first clean sheet in 10 matches to kick off their Euro campaign on a high.
