When you have a frontline of Mertens, Hazard and Lukaku that is ably backed by De Bruyne behind them with Carrasco and Meunier bombing forward down the flanks, any opposition could feel overwhelmed.

However, getting all these players to tick and playing to each other's strengths is a difficult thing to achieve but Martinez seems to have got it all worked out.

Romelu Lukaku was getting more involved with the build-up play. Hazard was sashaying past defenders and finding the runners around him and KDB was in full flow, KDB-ing the opposition out of the stadium.

If it was a brilliant string of passes, topped off with a spectacular dummy and pass involving De Bruyne and Hazard that won them the first penalty, Mertens found Lukaku for the second.

It was Meunier who released Lukaku into the box for the third. Kevin De Bruyne played a peach of a pass to find Hazard at the edge of the area for the fourth and Tielemans played a delightful early cross for Batshuayi to put his name on the scoresheet.

This Belgian side is going to take some stopping.
