Romelu Lukaku grabbed himself a brace as Belgium cruised to a 3-0 victory in their opening Group G World Cup match against Panama on Monday evening.
After a frustrating first half for Belgium, the game sparked into life when Dries Mertens opened the scoring with an outstanding volley just after the restart.
