England were in action on Sunday night, but fell to a 2-0 defeat away at Belgium in a rather disappointing display.

The Three Lions were in confident mood after beating Ireland 3-0 on Thursday night, but were effectively beaten by half time in Leuven.

Romelu Lukaku’s deflected strike put Belgium in front, and Dries Mertens fired home a superb free kick to seal a 2-0 win.

England rallied in the second half but couldn’t make the breakthrough, with Belgium coasting to victory despite a fine showing from Jack Grealish.

The Aston Villa playmaker had to wait a while for his England chance, but having impressed against Ireland, he did so again on Sunday.

Grealish was England’s driving force, going past players at will whilst producing one sensational flick over Thomas Meunier to set up a counter attack.

Grealish is becoming undroppable for England, just like many Villa fans expected, and his performance was lauded on Twitter.

Gary Lineker admitted that he loves watching Grealish, branding him a ‘delightful footballer’ whilst Cesc Fabregas hailed his ‘great personality’ on the pitch.
