Romelu Lukaku made it 3-0 a minute before the break while Bjarni Geir Vidarsson pulled one back for the visitors three minutes after the restart.
Club Brugge succumbed to a last-gasp 2-1 loss at home to Germinal, who moved up to third place, three points off today's opponents.
Sherjill MacDonald opened the scoring for the visitors one minute into the second period and the dismissal of Antonin Alcaraz after 57 minutes further dented Club Brugge's hopes.

Reigning champions Standard Liege slipped back to fourth place after losing 2-1 at fifth-placed Gent.
Zoro Gohi-Bi opened the scoring for Standard after three minutes but Gent hit back to claim the win thanks to Christophe Lepoint's 42nd-minute effort and an Adnan Custovic penalty after 65 minutes.
