Belgium brilliant under Martinez and five things we learned from the European qualifiers

Three games, three wins, 13 goals scored and none conceded. It’s fair to say that Roberto Martinez has had a good start to life as the new Belgium manager.

Tougher tests lie in wait as the Belgians have been matched point-for-point by a resurgent Greece at the top of Group H but Martinez’s road to redemption following his sacking by Everton has begun well.

Belgium, smarting from a poor show at Euro 2016, dispensed with Marc Wilmots in favor of a coach with a broader tactical pallet and the Catalan has done well to coax strong performances from his captain Eden Hazard among others.
