Intro:

Westerlo surrendered a two-goal advantage on Sunday (17th August), drawing 2-2 at home to reigning Belgian Pro League champions Anderlecht.

Script:

Heading into this Belgian Pro League between Westerlo and visitors Anderlecht both teams were unbeaten.

And it was the home side who took the lead in the 20th minute, Anderlecht's Chancel Mbemba scoring past his own keeper.

And it got worse before half time for the men from the capital. Geudens powering this header past Silvio Proto.

The reigning champions pulled a goal back five minutes into the second half when Gohi Cyriac shot past the outstreched hand of van Langendonck

Anderlecht's comeback was made all the easier when Westerlo midfielder Maxime Annys was judged to have handled in the area.

Yoeri Tielemans dutifully dispatched the resulting spot-kick. The result means that Anderlecht reassert themselves at the top of the Pro League table alongside Gent, with both teams on 10 points and a positive goal difference of five.

Westerlo are two points behind in fourth place.
