Belgian First Division: Club Brugge 0 Anderlecht 2

Anderlecht moved back to the top of the Belgian First Division with a 2-0 away win at Club Brugge on Sunday.

The hosts were keen to impress their home fans after a mid-week home defeat to Villarreal in the Europa League, but crashed to their third league loss in five matches after conceding two second-half goals at Jan Breydel Stadium.

Anderlecht’s 17-year-old teenage sensation Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring after 58 minutes, registering his ninth goal of the season in the process.

The game remained open until two minutes from time when Mbark Boussoufa wrapped up the three points and killed off any chance of a Brugge comeback.

Anderlecht’s win moved them to 44 points atop the league standings, one point clear of second-place Genk.

Sunday’s other fixture between Gent and Germinal Beerschot at the Olympisch Stadion was suspended after 10 minutes because of heavy snowfall.
