Swansea midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson scored both goals on Monday as Iceland pulled off a stunning 2-0 win over the Netherlands in a European Championship qualifier.
It was Iceland's first victory over the Dutch in 11 meetings and the third loss in four matches for Netherlands coach Guus Hiddink, who took the reins after the World Cup.
The win kept Iceland perfect in three qualifiers and left it level atop Group A with the Czech Republic, which got its third straight win by beating Kazakhstan 4-2 in Almaty.
