A brace by Marko Arnautovic fired Austria to a 2-0 win away to Cyprus that nudged them closer to World Cup qualification for the first time since 1998

But Bosnia-Hercegovina came from behind to beat 10-man Romania 3-1 and ensure Group H goes down to the wire too.

Belgium missed the chance to secure their spot at the finals after they were held to a 1-1 draw in Kazakhstan.

Mikel Oyarzabal bagged a brace as Spain maintained their perfect qualification record by outclassing Georgia in Tbilisi.

Real Sociedad forward Oyarzabal opened the scoring from the penalty spot on 11 minutes after Giorgi Gocholeishvili was penalised for handling Ferran Torres’s cross.

Martin Zubimendi doubled the European champions’ advantage on 22 minutes after he was left unmarked to slot home a pass from Fabian Ruiz.

And Torres put the game to bed 10 minutes before the break by converting a cross from Oyarzabal.

Torres repaid the favour for Oyarzabal to notch his second just past the hour mark.

That commanding victory left Spain with a three-point lead over Turkey at the top of Group E and a vastly superior goal difference.

Turkey would have to pull off a stunning seven-goal victory away to Spain on Tuesday to pip La Roja to automatic World Cup qualification.

Spain have scored 19 goals in their five matches so far, without conceding a single one.

Hakan Calhanoglu gave Turkey the lead from the penalty spot on 18 minutes following a handball in the box but the hosts laboured to add to that in Bursa until Atanas Chernev bundled a cross past his own goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov seven minutes from time.
