Romelu Lukaku scored his first goals since June as Belgium thrashed Estonia in a Euro 2024 qualifier on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old - who recently joined Roma on loan from Chelsea - netted the 76th and 77th goals of his international career as Belgium won 5-0 in Brussels.

Lukaku also assisted Leandro Trossard for a stunning strike, while Jan Vertonghen and Charles De Ketelaere got the other two goals for the Red Devils.

Belgium remain top of Group F, having moved seven points clear of third-placed Sweden, who lost 3-1 at home to Austria elsewhere on Tuesday.

Lukaku has now scored as many FIFA-recognized goals as Brazil legend Pele.

Pele's 77 goals against national teams came in 92 matches for Brazil.

Meanwhile, Lukaku's 77th international goal arrived in his 110th senior appearance for Belgium.
