Edward Iordanescu's side came into this competition with a reputation for lacking goals - with just 16 goals scored in 10 qualifying games - but they managed three on a memorable afternoon in Bavaria.

Stanciu opened the scoring in stunning fashion as he capitalised on the first of two mistakes from Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin to curl a delicious finish from 25 yards in off the underside of the bar (29).

Lunin had looked to play out from the back - and the Ukraine No 1 was again culpable for Romania's second when he allowed Razvan Marin's speculative shot to veer underneath his body (53) not long after the interval.

Four minutes later, Romania killed off the contest with a third as Man turned provider for Denis Dragus to convert from close range, played just onside by the outstretched boot of Artem Dovbyk.

It meant Romania scored three goals in a European Championship game for the first time since June 2000 in their infamous 3-2 victory over England - their only previous win at a Euros finals.

Romania top Group E ahead of Belgium's encounter with Slovakia in Frankfurt later on Monday.
