Diogo Jota and Cristiano Ronaldo scored to help spare Portugal's blushes as they beat Luxembourg 3-1 this morning.

Luxembourg beat Republic of Ireland on Saturday and led the European champions through Gerson Rodrigues' header.

But Liverpool forward Jota headed home in the final attack of the first half.

Ronaldo tapped in early in the second half to turn the tide in Portugal's favour, with Joao Palhinha glancing in a header to seal the win.

In other World Cup qualifying results, Belgium beat Belarus 8-0, Wales beat Czech Republic 1-0 while Netherlands thrashed Gibraltar 7-0.
