Belgium 4 Bosnia 0: Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku on target in World Cup 2018 qualifying cruise for Roberto Martinez's men

Romelu Lukaku finished off a Bosnia side that simply couldn't cope with the talent on display for Belgium.

Belgium tore Bosnia apart at times and looked to be out of sight at half time with the score at 2-0 but Bosnia rallied after half time only for Belgium to turn it on once again.  

Belgium seemed a side very much like one from the Premier League with Eden Hazard, Lukaku and Jan Vertonghen to name just a few, starting in the World Cup qualifier.

Even Martin Atkinson was the referee to give the match a Premier League quality feel.

It was a see of red in Brussels as Belgium continued to bomb forward in order to kill Bosnia off as soon as possible.

In the 26th minuted Belgium's pressure caused Bosnia to wilt as a cross from the right ended being sliced in to the net for an own goal by defender Emir Saphic.

Bosnia were rocking as they seemed to be no relenting from a hungry Belgium side that could smell blood and two minutes later Hazard struck as he ran on to a delightful through ball before rounding the keeper and finishing from an acute angle.

It was a night to forget for the former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko when he was beaten at the near post from a corner by Toby Alderweireld who flicked the ball with the back of his heel past the keeper.

Bosnia did cause a scare for the hosts when they broke away from their onslaught but Vedad Ibisevic failed to convert the chance inside 20 minutes.
