Leuven (Belgium): Leandro Trossard and Hans Vanaken each scored twice as Belgium eased past Belarus 8-0 to move to the top of their World Cup 2022 qualifying group in style.
Belgium fell behind in their first two Group E games -- a 3-1 win comeback win over Wales and 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic -- but were four goals ahead at half-time on Tuesday.

Michy Batshuayi opened the scoring for Belgium after 14 minutes at Den Dreef in Leuven in the absence of the rested Romelu Lukaku and Vanaken added a quickfire second for the home side.
Trossard and Jeremy Doku were also on the scoresheet before half-time and further strikes followed after the interval from Dennis Praet and Christian Benteke, before Trossard and Vanaken completed the rout - Belarus' heaviest-ever loss.
Batshuayi failed to beat Aleksandr Gutor from close range early on but he made amends by picking out the roof of the net from a tight angle from the next chance that fell his way.
