Video: Robin van Persie and Klaas Jan Huntelaar have a major argument

An in-team rivalry came to the fore last night as two Netherlands forwards openly disagreed on the pitch in a Euro 2016 qualifier against Kazakhstan.The away side had taken a shock lead and the Dutch looked lost. With frustration all around and passions running high, captain Robin van Persie got a chance to equalise with the ball falling on his favoured left foot he hit it wide of the keeper.

However, team-mate Jan Klaas Huntelaar was seen moments laters showing his frustration at his captain gesturing that he should have looked for options.

The Mnachester United forward retaliated by a gesture if his own that seemed to be asking Huntelaar to shut up.

Here is another angle of the incident:

Everybody knows Sneijder and Van Persie don't get along, but they're professional enough to co-exist. But Huntelaar and RVP are beefing.

Doesn't help that Huntelaar kind of is "The People's Striker" and Van Persie is like Triple H to Dutch fans.

Netherlands eventually came back to win 3-1 with goals from Huntelaar, Affelaay and Van Persie.

The Dutch captain later described the Schalke forward’s reaction as “exaggerated”.

"I thought it was a bit of an exaggerated reaction,"

"I think I had the right to shoot at goal from that angle," he said. "It's no big thing. Something goes with it. Though I can do though."
