Striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar hit a late winner for the Netherlands to cap a superb fight-back from 3-0 down to seal a 4-3 win over Euro 2008 co-hosts Austria in a friendly in Vienna.

Huntelaar headed home in the 86th minute to complete a remarkable turnaround for Marco van Basten's side.

Austria had taken a three-goal lead, going ahead after six minutes through captain Andreas Ivanschitz.

Sebastian Proedl headed home an Ivanschitz corner to make it 2-0 after 18 minutes and the duo combined again for Proedl to add a third.

Huntelaar began the Dutch comeback eight minutes before the break, John Heitinga got another midway through the second half and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink equalised eight minutes from time.
