Match No. 1008 - Sunday, 15th November 2020, 8:45pm
"The home team worked it up to Romelu Lukaku who found Youri Tielemans and his low shot took a slight deflection off Declan Rice and then a bigger one off Tyrone Mings to beat Jordan Pickford. The England goalkeeper got his fingertips to the ball and diverted it against the post and in." Youri Tielemans, 10'9:10
"Belgium’s second goal was frustrating for England on more than one level, although it was a beauty – Dries Mertens getting his free-kick to curl up and over the defensive wall and beyond Pickford’s dive." Dries Mertens, 23'22:59
