Belgium’s Christian Benteke scored the fastest ever World Cup qualifying goal after seven seconds against Gibraltar.

The Crystal Palace striker netted a hat‑trick in a 6‑0 Group H win, the first of which was also the quickest in his country's history.

Benteke beat the previous record of 8.3 seconds, set by San Marino's Davide Gualtieri against England in 1993.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba scored a long‑range effort as France won 1‑0 against the Netherlands.

Meanwhile, Manchester United will play arch-rivals Liverpool at 7am next Tuesday.
