Depay slotted a first-half penalty and added a second goal after the break to take his recent tally to nine in as many games for the Dutch, who also scored through Georginio Wijnaldum and a first international strike for Cody Gakpo.
Netherlands host Turkey in Amsterdam in a potentially key game on Tuesday, while Norway are at home to minnows Gibraltar. Depay’s clever turn in the box 10 minutes before halftime drew a foul from Dusan Lagator and the Dutch forward stepped up to convert a thunderous spot-kick into the top corner for a 1-0 lead at the break.
An even better chance followed when debutant left back Tyrell Malacia put his side in danger with a terrible back-pass that allowed Montenegro striker Stefan Mugosa to bear down on goal, but his shot was high and wide with just the keeper to beat.
