England eased to a comfortable 4-0 win over Hungary at the Puskas Arena here on Thursday to sit pretty at the top of World Cup qualifying Group I.

It was a miserable night for Hungary on and off the field. The country’s football federation is likely to face a FIFA investigation after crowd misbehaviour and reports of racial abuse of two England players.

Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku scored twice as Belgium overcame an early scare to crush Estonia 5-2 away on Thursday and solidify its position at the top of World Cup qualifying Group E.

Lukaku took his international record to 66 goals in his 99th appearance after Belgium was shocked when Estonia captain Matthias Kait stole the ball in midfield and thundered home a powerful shot to put the host ahead in the second minute.
