Romelu Lukaku is in the form of his life, and Belgium is certainly thankful for that right about now.

In danger of suffering a stunning home loss to Greece in Saturday's World Cup qualifier, the Belgians' blushes were saved by the hulking striker, who showcased his strength and finishing ability with a vital 89th-minute tally.

The Everton star has now found the net 28 times in his last 31 matches for both club and country.

The goal, which cancelled out Kostas Mitroglou's opener, ensured Roberto Martinez's men remained on top of Group H in UEFA qualifying, two points clear of the Greeks.
