Raging Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku smashes up dugout in front of TV cameras after Belgium's World Cup disaster

Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku smashed up a dugout in a frustrated rage after missing a number of clear-cut chances as his country were dumped out of the World Cup at the group stage.

Belgium, tipped by many to be one of the contenders to win the tournament in Qatar, are out after losing two of their three group games against Morocco and Croatia. The game against the latter on Thursday afternoon finished in a rather drab 0-0 draw, which was enough for the Croats to go through.
