Belgium made use of their final dress rehearsal ahead of a World Cup qualifier with Estonia in four days by beating the Czech Republic on Monday night.

Michy Batshuayi continued his fine scoring run for Chelsea at the end of the season by putting the hosts ahead in the 25th minute with a low drive across goal.

But Roberto Martinez's side were pegged back just four minutes as Michael Krmencik levelled.

Thibaut Courtois and Kevin De Bruyne combined to allow the striker to steal the ball and tap home from close range.

A raft of changes at half-time did the trick for the Belgians, with Marouane Fellaini heading home Dries Mertens' to send them ahead for the second time in Brussels.

The Czechs were unlucky not to walk away with at least a draw from the King Baudouin Stadium after they twice hit the post with low shots.
