Tielemans scored an astonishing goal to seal a win for Anderlecht

Anderlecht prodigy and Chelsea target Youri Tielemans showed why he is such a sought-after player after scoring a screamer. Tielemans' goal came in Anderlecht's match against Waasland-Beveren in the opening day of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League.

The 18-year-old who is heavily linked with Chelsea as well as Arsenal scored an incredible long-range goal in the 92nd minute of the match. When the match looked like heading for a draw with the score at 2-2, the youngster picked up the ball and unleashed a belter from 35 yards out which caught the goalkeeper by surprise.

The goal handed champions Anderlecht a perfect start to their campaign as they look to defend their title which they won last season. And if Tielemans keeps scoring such goals, then it will be sooner rather than later that a big club will try and snap him up.

Tielemans scored 8 goals for the Belgian club last season and it is believed that big European clubs are monitoring the progress of the talented youngster. Anderlecht would be keen on holding onto the youngster for some time more at least after losing Chancel Mamba and Aleksander Mitrovic to Newcastle United in the transfer window.
