Genk on Sunday took the lead after eight minutes through Christian Benteke but the home side were 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 winning 5-1.
