SPAIN 1 NETHERLANDS 5: Robben, Van Persie Humiliates LaRoja & Del Bosque

FORMER Chelsea star Arjen Robben and Manchester United hitman Robin Van Persie were on top form as Holland ran riot against reigning World Cup champions Spain.

Despite a slow start to the game, it was Spain who took the lead after half an hour through a Xabi Alonso penalty.

However Van Persie levelled for the Dutch a minute before half-time with an early Goal of the Tournament contender, smashing home a flying header after a beautifully-weighted 45-yard pass from Daley Blind.
Robben put Holland 2-1 up in the 53rd minute, his fantastic first touch leaving Gerard Pique in his wake and firing home to send the Dutch fans wild.
