The Netherlands dominated the world champions and Oranje are back in the groove.

However, while France’s defeat was the talk of the evening, there was other great international fixtures going on and a host of brilliant goals.

So, here’s a rundown of what you may have missed from Friday’s action.

The Netherlands are back … and even Koeman is a little surprised

Ok, so of course we have to start here.

#Netherlands have slain the giant! #France lose their first game in 8 months to Netherlands, who managed to beat the 2018 World Cup Champions 2-0. It was that man #Wijnaldum again who made it 1-0 after a rebound gave him a golden opportunity 🚀#UEFANationsLeague #NEDFRA pic.twitter.com/EZWLV9v6Oy

Oranje have endured some barren times in recent years but they’ve really impressed in the Nations League and we’re it claiming now: they’re back!

The Dutch inflicted France’s first defeat in eight months, beating the world champions 2-0 on a famous night in Rotterdam.

Giorgino Wijnaldum was on the scoresheet again after finding the net against Germany last month as the Netherlands impressed before Memphis Depay put the icing on the cake from the penalty spot after a dominant display.

Manager Ronald Koeman was surprised at just how well his side played and admitted: “I did not expect that we would be the better team for ninety minutes.

“I also did not expect to be able to read the whole match so well. I am proud of this mature performance against France. This is a huge step.

Pick that one out!

There was a stunning goal scored at the Cardiff City stadium but, for once, it wasn’t scored by Gareth Bale.

No, while the Welsh wizard did net a consolation for Ryan Giggs’ side, it was Martin Braithwaite’s winner for Denmark which stole the show.

What a strike by the Middlesbrough man. The chest and then the top corner, cool as you like.

Slovakia defeated Ukraine 4-1 in League B but out of the five goals we’re struggling to pick our favourite.

The cheeky Kanu-esque finish of Adam Zrelak, the sumptuous, side-foot volley from Yevhen Konoplyanka or Robert Makes clever set-piece strike.

Every strike was deserving of League A and, despite defeat, it’s Ukraine who are top of the table after sealing promotion in October.

Gibraltar rocked by Armenia

Gibraltar have been one of the Nations League success stories but were hit for six at home on Friday.

Having secured historic victories against Armenia and Liechtenstein, the Armenians claimed revenge with a 6-2 victory at the Victoria Stadium.

Gibraltar went ahead through 18-year-old Tjay De Barr (great name), who scored with a great finish, and may have started dreaming of another giant victory but it wasn’t to be.

The results means Gibraltar cannot be promoted but what a campaign it has been!
