										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Romelu Lukaku’s double helped Belgium recover from an early setback in Tallinn as they saw off Estonia 5-2 to retain top spot in their World Cup qualifying group.</strong></em></p>
<p><span id="more-106161"></span></p>
<p>The Red Devils fell behind for the third time in four Group E matches.</p>
<p>That was when Mattias Kait fired the hosts —— ranked 110 in the world —— into a shock lead inside two minutes at A. Le Coq Arena.</p>
<p>But Belgium, in action for the first time since their Euro 2020 quarter-final loss to Italy, replied before the half-hour mark through a Hans Vanaken header and Lukaku’s clinical finish.</p>
<p>Lukaku doubled his tally early in the second half.</p>
<p>Further goals followed from Axel Witsel and substitute Thomas Foket as Roberto Martinez’s side made it three wins and a draw from their first four qualifying fixtures.</p>
<p>This was in spite of Erik Sorga netting a late consolation for Estonia.</p>
<p>Estonia had won their previous three matches and found themselves ahead early on.</p>
<p>This was when Kait turned over possession, carried the ball forward and rifled a shot away from Thibaut Courtois.</p>
<p>Belgium soon found their rhythm and were on level terms 20 minutes later thanks to Vanaken.</p>
<p>He added to the two goals scored in the 8-0 win over Belarus last time out in qualifying with a headed equaliser from five yards out.</p>
<p>Lukaku then profited from some poor home defending to fire Martinez’s men in front.</p>
<p>The prolific striker picked his spot after Karol Mets’ clearance hit team-mate Vladislav Kreida and fell into his path.</p>
<p>Alexis Saelemaekers went close to extending Belgium’s lead with a shot that crashed back off the frame of the goal.</p>
<p>But they did not have to wait much longer for their third as Lukaku worked a yard of space and curled the ball past Karl Hein.</p>
<p>Witsel tapped in from close range following some excellent work from Yannick Carrasco.</p>
<p>Carrasco also played a superb pass over the top for Foket —— introduced from the bench 10 minutes earlier —— to ghost in behind for Belgium’s fifth.</p>
<p>Another substitute in Sorga pulled one back for Estonia seven minutes from time, but Belgium were already home and dry by that point.</p>
