Eden Hazard praises Belgium teammate Romelu Lukaku for his goalscoring prowess and talent following the Red Devils' 5-2 win over Tunisia at the 2018 World Cup.

Eden Hazard has praised his Belgium teammate Romelu Lukaku for his goalscoring prowess following the nation's 5-2 win over Tunisia at the 2018 World Cup.

The Manchester United striker increased his goal tally in Russia to four, bagging a brace against the Carthage Eagles to go alongside his double in the 3-0 victory over Panama.

Hazard, who also weighed in with a brace against Tunisia, admitted that Belgium's defensive play will need some tweaking, but will be able to "enjoy the next four days" ahead of the England clash.

"This game we won so we are happy today," the Chelsea forward told BBC Sport.

"We played well and scored five goals. We conceded two, we can improve on that but now we enjoy the next four days and then we play England for the top of the group.

"It's easy to play with Romelu Lukaku, pass him the ball and he scores every time. He was fantastic."

Lukaku is now tied with Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the World Cup goalscoring charts.
