England fell to defeat on Sunday night, as they were beaten 2-0 away at Belgium in a disappointing display.

The Three Lions beat Ireland on Thursday night, and were looking for a big UEFA Nations League victory away in Leuven.

However, Romelu Lukaku fired a deflected shot past Jordan Pickford for the opening goal, before Dries Mertens fired in a superb free kick to make it 2-0.

England were better after the break as Jack Grealish starred, but couldn’t find a way back into the game as Gareth Southgate’s men slumped to defeat.

Grealish was the star of the show, but there were impressive displays elsewhere too, with Bukayo Saka turning in a promising performance.

The Arsenal talent came on as a first-half substitute for Ben Chilwell, featuring as a left-wing back – as he has often done for the Gunners.

Saka, 19, supported the England attack well, and many fans praised him on Twitter as ‘bright’, ‘quality’ and ‘a baller’.

Some Spurs fans but their rivalry aside to call Saka ‘generational’ and ‘great talent’, with the Arsenal youngster earning fans all over the country.
