England rounded off their Preliminary Qualifying Round in style as they defeated a talented and youthful Belgian team to secure top spot and three wins out of three - now you can watch the action.

Despite having already overcome Iceland and Romania 5-1 and 6-0 respectively, that didn't stop Brian Eastick's players from making it a perfect week and notching up their fourth straight win this season.

The goals came from Bolton's Tope Obadeyi, who grabbed a hat-trick on Sunday against Romania, Reading's James Henry and Birmingham defender Krystian Pearce.

But the most memorable strike of the night will undoubtedly be the incredible goal from the Belgian captain Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe who struck from the halfway line.
