Romelu Lukaku, Belgium's greatest goal scorer since the age 24
Romelu Lukaku celebrated 100th Belgium cap by scoring his 67th goal international in a win over the Czech Republic during World Cup qualifying.
28-year-old Chelsea striker raced onto a Hans Vanaken throughball to score with a first time finish from the box's edge.
Vanaken then allowed Eden Hazard to score his international first goal since November 2019.
Alexis Saelemaekers scored Belgium's third goal when Lukaku passed the ball to him.
Lukaku is sixth Belgian to win 100 caps. However, he is well behind Jan Vertonghen's record (132)
Hazard is Belgium's second highest scorer with 33 goals. This is less than half the total of Lukaku.
Lukaku was also booked, which means that he will not be able to attend Wednesday's match with Belarus in Russia. He can however return to London right now.
Belgium leads Group E with 13 points from five games. Six points ahead of second-placed Czechs is Belgium. Wales is second on six points with two games left.
