After Sweden beat Tunisia 5-1 in their opening, the Netherlands thrashed the Blågult by the same scoreline. The battle to take top spot in the group has now livened up. 

Ronald Koeman created headlines after deciding to drop Crysencio Summerville, who scored against Japan, for Brian Brobbey. However, his gamble was rewarded when the Sunderland striker scored inside six minutes. 

Bart Verbruggen blasted the ball up to Brobbey, who held the ball up nicely before making a darting run in the box and was found by Cody Gakpo, and he tapped the ball in to make it 1-0.

After a timid and lacklustre start against Japan, the Netherlands began aggressively and were looking to blow Sweden away.

Brobbey doubled his tally with a similar goal to his first, but it was instead Denzel Dumfries who drilled the ball across the box for the striker to tap in. This was the Netherlands' 100th goal in World Cup history.

However, after the hydration break, Graham Potter's side sprang into life, instantly put the Dutch on the back foot and made this game end-to-end. 

Their best chance was created when Isak picked out his partner in the box, who tried to bend it past Verbruggen, but the Brighton shot stopper was able to make the save. 

The attacking flair did not stop in the second half. Summerville was subbed on for Malen and made an immediate impact inside one minute of the half. His trickery made space for Dumfries to run into, and his low cross found Gakpo to tap in to make it 3-0.

The lightning-fast attacks continued by the Oranje, who soon made it 4-0 after 54 minutes. Isak lost the ball in the forward areas, and with very direct play, Summerville drove the ball towards the box and slipped in Gakpo, cutting inside for his second. 

Five minutes later, substitute Anthony Elanga scored only a consolation goal for Sweden. Isak threaded the ball through for the winger, who was charging through to lift the ball over Verbruggen. 

To top off a brilliant half for Summerville, he scored his second goal spectacularly. As has been the trend all night, the Dutch had another electrifying counterattack led by Memphis Depay who found the West Ham winger. He dropped the shoulder and then smashed a low shot into the corner from outside the box.

Compared to the game against Japan, the difference was night and day. They were slow and lacklustre going forward against the Samurai Blue. 

However, all game the Oranje put the Swedes under constant pressure and did not let them breathe. Instead of taking their time on the ball, they were always on the front foot, playing quickly and directly. 

Koeman needs a lot of the credit for the changes he made, as Brobbey was a constant threat and bullied the Swedish defence. Against Japan, his defensive substitutes were highly criticised. In this game, his early substitution of Summerville cemented the victory for the Dutch.

He also slightly changed the positioning of Frenkie De Jong and Ryan Gravenberch. Both sat very deep, with De Jong often dropping to sit with the back line. Against Sweden, both were very forward-thinking, winning the ball high up and also driving the ball up the pitch. 

It's this intensity and way of playing that the Netherlands need to continue in every game. 

Going forward, they looked electric all game and looked like they could score on every attack, but their final ball let them down. However, their defence was all over the place and was bullied by Brobbey.

The warning signs were there against Tunisia. Sweden looked vulnerable at times, and this was against a Tunisia who were playing without a recognised striker or winger.

The back five appeared to be way too narrow and gave the Netherlands so much room in the wide areas to exploit. The defenders themselves were not aggressive enough to cope with Brobbey.

Sweden is yet to keep a clean sheet since they played Hungary a year ago, which emphasises the clear vulnerability they have.
