Dutch striker Robin van Persie was voted the Man of the Match after the Netherlands beat Cameroon 2-1 to top 2010 FIFA World Cup Group E on Thursday.

Van Persie lifted the Netherlands to a 1-0 lead in the 36th minute when the Arsenal striker played a brilliant one-two with Van der Vaart in the box before firing home right-footed from a tight angle.

This was the first goal he scored in this World Cup.

After a season blighted by an ankle injury that kept him out of action from November to mid-April, van Persie came to South Africa hungry to make his mark.
