Netherlands midfielder Wesley Sneijder has praised the team for scoring "six beautiful goals" during their thrashing of Lativa in Euro 2016 qualifying.

The Dutch got their Group A campaign back on track on Sunday with a comprehensive 6-0 triumph in Amsterdam.

Sneijder and his teammates are now six points behind leaders Czech Republic with six games left to play.

"It was a great match and a good result. We made a big step and now we have to continue like this," he told UEFA's official website. "We were really eager to win this game. So we needed the three points and we did it and, at the same time, we played pretty well, with six beautiful goals."

Guus Hiddink's side continue their qualifying campaign in March 2015 when they host Turkey.
