Arjen Robben marked his return to international duty after a year sidelined by injuries with a goal as the Netherlands beat Luxembourg 3-1 Sunday in a World Cup qualifier.

Robben's attacking threat was not enough to make up for the defensive frailties that have plagued the Netherlands in the last two years and Luxembourg leveled just before half time.
