Portugal qualified for a seventh consecutive FIFA World Cup, beating Armenia 8-1 in the final World Cup qualifier at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto on Sunday.
Roberto Martinez’s side, playing without the suspended Cristiano Ronaldo, needed a win to secure a place at next year’s World Cup and did so in style, with two hat-tricks, from Bruno Fernandes and Joao Neves.
