Romelu Lukaku scored twice as Belgium breezed to a 4-0 friendly win over Saudi Arabia in Brussels, beginning their preparations for this year’s World Cup.
Playing for the first time in 2018, Roberto Martinez’s men exploited a sub-standard visiting defence and could afford to be wasteful as Lukaku had his brace before half-time.
Belgium remained on top after the break, yet they did not initially look clinical enough in the final third to hand Saudi Arabia a deserved humbling, Michy Batshuayi and Kevin De Bruyne belatedly adding gloss to the scoreline in the closing stages.
