2016-06-06 12:06:00 from:SNTV

In their last international friendly before the start of their Euro 2016 campaign, Belgium secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Norway in Brussels on Sunday.

With all eyes on Euro 2016, one of the hot tips for the tournament Belgium, lined up against Norway.

It went off with a bang for Marc Wilmots side, Romelu Lukaku with this, just three minutes in. It's Lukaku's 12th international goal.

Any hopes the home side had of an easy final warm-up game were quickly dashed in the 21st minute, Stefan Johansen finding Joshua King.. and in it went..

There was another chance for Norway before the break, and in the second half they didn't subside - King with the assist and Veton Berisha with the goal.

Norway 2-1 up and frustration for Thibaut Courtois

The Belgium defence was missing key players and you could tell - but in the 70th minute Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard combined to bring things level.

A set piece earnt Belgium the win, Laurent Ciman with the header.

Huge relief for fans and manager alike, the team must now prepare for their tournament kick off against Italy a week on Monday.
