A late deflected goal from Arda Turan helped Turkey claim a dramatic 3-2 win over Belgium in their 2012 European Championship qualifying game.

Turan's low shot in the 78th minute deflected off a Belgium defender into the bottom corner of the net.

Daniel Van Buyten had put Belgium ahead in the 28th minute, heading in a corner from Toby Alderweireld.

Hamit Altintop leveled the score in the 47th minute before substitute Semih Senturk gave the host the lead in the 66th.

But Belgium responded just three minutes later when goalkeeper Onur Kivrak left his line late on a cross, leaving Van Buyten to head in his second.
