RSC Anderlecht applied pressure on Club Brugge with a 2-0 win over Charleroi on Saturday, while Standard Liege suffered a painful 2-0 defeat at Westerlo.
Anderlecht were never really troubled by Charleroi. Lucas Biglia put the Brussels outfit in the lead after 23 minutes and Romelo Lukaku made it 2-0 with eight minutes to go in the first half.
The result allows Anderlecht to move into first place, although Club Brugge may reconquer the top spot after their home match with Gent on Sunday.
Standard Liege weren’t quite as successful at Westerlo, as Dieter Dekelver scored in the 24th and 33rd minutes to give the hosts a 2-0 victory.
