Belgium rounded off their extremely impressive 2018 World Cup qualification campaign with a 4-3 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday night.
A late effort from Atletico Madrid attacker Yannick Ferreira Carrasco proved to be the difference between the two teams as Roberto Martinez’s side finished on a high.
It was a special night for Belgium’s Jan Vertonghen, who drew level with Jan Ceulemans on 96 appearances for the national team.
The Tottenham Hotspur centre-back also got his name on the scoresheet – netting Belgium’s third of the night in the 68th minute, which sent the visitors 3-2 ahead.
Vertonghen, who is valued at £25.2m by transfermarkt.co.uk is still only 30, and will soon set a new record when it comes to appearances.
He has developed into one of Europe’s finest centre-backs since joining Tottenham from Ajax in 2012, and as expected, the Spurs supporters have been out in force to pay tribute to the defender as he reached a very special milestone.
