Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard on target as Euro 2016 hopefuls end warm-ups with a win

Belgium came from behind to beat Norway 3-2 and win some relief from its fans in its send-off game for the European Championship.

Romelu Lukaku scored his fourth goal in as many games but after two Norway strikes, Belgium had to count on Eden Hazard and Laurent Ciman to force a difficult victory Sunday against an opponent supposed to be little more than a sparring partner.

Joshua King and Veton Berisha had scored to give Norway a 2-1 lead and momentarily stun the 40,000-strong crowd at the King Baudouin Stadium before the Red Devils came through with a late rush. Belgium, one of the favourites for Euro 2016, opens its campaign in Group E against Italy on June 13. Belgium also faces Sweden and Ireland in the group stage.
