Thibaut Courtois was left "angry" with his Chelsea teammate Eden Hazard for showboating and risking his clean sheet in Belgium's 6-0 battering of Gibraltar.
Belgium unsurprisingly had too much for the minnows in Monday's contest, with Christian Benteke setting the tone with a goal after seven seconds – a record in World Cup qualifying – before finishing the match with a hat trick.
But Courtois was none too pleased with his club and international teammate Hazard, who scored Belgium's sixth goal, saying he could have left the team exposed with his trickery.
"I was angry with Eden Hazard because he tried a back-heel in a part of the pitch where he shouldn't have," Courtois said. "I absolutely wanted to keep a clean sheet. I yelled so everyone understood that we had to stay sharp. We had little to gain here.
"We showed we respected our opponent. We have one and a half more years to improve and be ready for the World Cup. "
Belgium is on top of Group H with nine points from three matches.
