Anderlecht too good for Genk

Genk took the lead after eight minutes through Christian Benteke, but the home side was level seconds later through Matias Suarez.

Sacha Kljestan (36) and Dieudonne Mbokani (61) fired Anderlecht 3-1 ahead and, after substitute Elyaniv Barda (64) had pulled a goal back, Mbokani's second of the game sealed the win 10 minutes from time.

There were also six goals in the game between Club Brugge and Beerschot, with Brugge running out a 5-1 winner.

Joseph Akpala, Mushaga Bakenga and Maxime Lestienne put the home side 3-0 ahead after just 28 minutes.

Vusimuzi Nyoni pulled a goal back 10 minutes before the interval, but Akpala (41) and Lestienne (61) both found the net again to complete the win and draw Brugge level on points with second-placed Gent.
