Henri Lansbury scored a stunning goal for England's under 21s as the Young Lions trounced Belgium 4-0 at the Riverside Stadium - but opinions are divided as to whether it was intentional or otherwise.

Lansbury, who is on loan with West Ham for the current season scored the opening goal of the game after just ten minutes.

Having received the ball wide on the left, the midfielder - who added a second eight minutes into the second half - sent the ball towards the penalty box under pressure from a opposing defender.

As Lansbury's cross travelled towards the penalty area the swirling wind inside the stadium caught the ball and it swerved viciously before dipping under the crossbar to give Brian Eastwick's side the lead.

So did he mean it? Judge for yourself, by watching the video below...
