MAROUANE FELLAINI’S HOT streak continued as his early goal secured Belgium’s vital 1-0 victory in Israel, despite Vincent Kompany being dismissed midway through the second half.

Manchester United midfielder Fellaini scored twice in Saturday’s 5-0 thumping of Cyprus, and made the difference again in Jerusalem – his ninth-minute strike putting Belgium top of Euro 2016 qualifying Group B.

Captain Kompany picked up a second yellow card 26 minutes from time to ensure the visitors endured a tense end to the game, but they held on to move above Wales on goal difference.

However, Kompany’s dismissal means Belgium will be without their skipper when they travel to Cardiff for a key clash with Wales in June.

The Man City defender also tried an audacious long-range volley before his dismissal.
