Man Utd's Fellaini scores vital goal as Belgium go top in Euro2016 qualifying

Marouane Fellaini scored a crucial goal for Belgium as they moved to the top of their qualifying group for Euro2016.

The Manchester United midfielder, who has rediscovered his best form in recent times, netted the only goal of the Fellaini netted in the ninth minute, from a Vincent Kompany assist, before the Manchester City captain was sent off midway through the second half for a second bookable offence.

The goal follows up Fellaini's double in the weekend's 5-0 crushing of Cyprus which now has Marc Wilmots' side ahead of second-placed Wales on goal difference and clear of third-placed Israel by two points.
