ANKARA (AA) - Club Brugge won the 2022 Belgian Pro League title on Sunday.

Following a 3-1 win over Royal Antwerp, Club Brugge sealed their 18th league title in history and their third in a row.

Club Brugge came back from a 1-0 deficit to take the 3-1 win at Antwerp.

Antwerp forward Michael Frey scored the opener in the 19th minute.

Brugge leveled 30 minutes later as Belgian midfielder Hans Vanaken scored a penalty spot.

Jack Hendry made it 2-1 for the visitors in minute 64 and Sargis Adamyan cemented the victory by scoring the third goal for his team two minutes later.
