Belgium round-up: Anderlecht come from behind

RSC Anderlecht came from behind to beat RWD Molenbeek 3-2 and keep their slim title hopes alive on Monday night.

Stoica on target
Anderlecht went ahead through Alin Stoica, before goals from Laurent Fassotte and Michael Origi either side of half-time put the home side in front. But Jimmy Smet put through his own net and Marc Hendrikx scored the winner to leave third-placed Anderlecht four points behind leaders Club Brugge KV.

Penalty converted
The opener came in the 15th minute when Bertrand Crasson crossed from the right for Stoica to head home. Crasson, however, was guilty of giving Molenbeek a chance to level in the 44th minute, pulling down Ivica Jarakovic in the box and Fasotte converted the penalty.

Hendrikx winner
Two minutes after the restart, Origi diverted the ball home from close range to give the hosts the lead. But they were hauled back level ten minutes later when Stoica's lob was headed into his own net by Smet. Substitute Hendrikx hit Anderlecht's winner with a 72nd-minute strike from outside the area. Three minutes later, Molenbeek's misery was completed when Ibrahim Kargbo was sent off after picking up a second yellow card.
