Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal feels that his side's performance against Romania was the best they have played under him.

Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal feels that his side produced their best display under his tenure in their 4-0 win over Romania.

A brace from Robin van Persie and strikes from Rafael van der Vaart and Jeremain Lens secured the win for Van Gaal's side as they maintained their 100% record in qualifying.

"Van Persie was very unlucky in the first half but in the second half he was actually very happy, because he made an incredible world-class goal," Van Gaal told Voetbal International.

"He was also a great target man, as you saw in his first goal. And Van der Vaart put his shot in flawlessly. Lens was [also] involved in two goals. And I haven't even talked about the defensive organisation.

"I thought it was the best match [the team has played] in this period under me."

Netherlands are top of Group D and are seven points clear of Hungary in second place, with four qualifying games remaining.
