Chelsea ace Hazard: Belgium could have scored more than six!

Eden Hazard feels the Belgium team could have fired even more goals beyond Gibraltar with any luck.

The Red Devils hammered the minnows 6-0 in Portugal in World Cup qualifying on Monday, courtesy of a hat-trick from Crystal Palace's Christian Benteke, but Chelsea playmaker Hazard feels it could have been a much bigger win.

Belgium kicked on from their 3-0 win in Cyprus last month and 4-0 home triumph over Bosnia-Herzegovina last week to continue their flawless beginning to their Russia 2018 qualifying campaign.

Hazard, who scored Belgium's sixth goal, said: "We knew that if we put all the ingredients in this game we could win.

"It was from the beginning serious and professional until the end.

"A good match was made in line with those against Bosnia and Cyprus and with more luck we could have scored more goals.

"We have nine points and we are already waiting for the next game."

Belgium will have to wait until November 13 for their next qualifier which takes place in Brussels against Estonia.
