But the Netherlands have now moved in behind them after a second successive victory with goals from Marten de Roon, Liverpool's Cody Gakpo and on-loan Burnley striker Wout Weghorst.

Albania maintained their challenge in Group E as a 1-1 draw with leaders Czech Republic kept them ahead of Poland.

Nedim Bajrami's 66th-minute goal cancelled out Vaclav Cerny's opener to earn them a point in Prague, while Robert Lewandowski scored twice – one a penalty – as the Poles beat Faroe Islands 2-0.

Hungary came from behind to beat Serbia 2-1 and open up a three-point cushion at the top of Group G, as Barnabas Varga and Willi Orban scored within three first-half minutes of each other as they recovered from Atila Szalai's early own goal.

Lithuania's Fedor Cernych scored a stoppage-time equaliser in a 2-2 draw to damage Montenegro's chances after Nikola Krstovic and Stefan Savic had struck late in the game to take the lead.
