Huntelaar scored two first-half goals
|
Holland beat Ukraine 3-0 to win the European Under-21 Championship.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, who missed out on selection in Holland's World Cup squad, was the star of the performance.
The Ajax striker, who finished the season as Eredivisie's leading scorer, got the first of his two goals with a neat finish after just 11 minutes.
He added a second from the penalty spot before the break, and after Olexander Romanchuk was sent off Nicky Hofs slotted a third in the final minute.
