England sink Belgium in Nations League thanks to Mount's lucky break

In the hunt for positives, Gareth Southgate could laud the spirit of his
England team and their ruthlessness. The statistics showed that they had
mustered three shots on target and they made two of them count as they
summoned a victory over the No1 ranked team in world football that they
hope can provide a touchstone.

The England manager will not kid himself. There remains an awful lot of
work to do in the search for cohesion and Belgium departed Wembley
wondering how they had allowed a position of dominance to slip away. They
had led through Romelu Lukaku’s early penalty and, for long spells, they
played the more assertive football.
