Youri Tielemans, who was named as captain by Rudi Garcia this week, scored two goals including a stunning volley, while Maxim De Cuyper, Arthur Theate, Kevin De Bruyne and Malick Fofana all got on the scoresheet as Belgium moved within three points of group leader Wales with two games in hand.

Belgium made a strong start to the match, with De Cuyper going close twice before breaking the deadlock. He managed to guide Thomas Meunier's cross into the top-right corner with a brilliant header in the 29th minute.

Tielemans then doubled their lead less than 30 seconds into the second half when Liechtenstein failed to properly clear a long ball and Tielemans struck a first-time effort beyond the reach of Benjamin Buchel.

The visitor then extended its advantage with a quickfire double on the hour mark. Theate, who rattled the woodwork in the first half, headed home from De Cuyper's cross before De Bruyne coolly finished past Buchel two minutes later.

Tielemans scored his second from the penalty spot in the 70th minute after Alessio Hasler was penalised for a high challenge on Theate, before Fofana completed the rout in additional time with a curling finish into the bottom-right corner.
