FIH Hockey Pro League: Jip Janssen added another two goals to his tally and extended his lead as top scorer of the event as the Netherlands handed European rivals Spain a comprehensive defeat in a crucial match in the FIH Hockey Pro League at the Kalinga Stadium on Tuesday.

The Dutch returned to winning ways after a shoot-out loss to hosts India a couple of days ago as they produced an assertive performance to beat Spain 3-0.

Earlier in the first match of the day, Ireland put up a brave fight at the start of their encounter against Australia, but could not prevent the Olympic silver medallists from romping to a 5-0 win.
