Thomas Meunier became Belgium's tenth different goal-scorer of the tournament after he made a stunning run from the right flank to get on the end of a pin-point cross from Nacer Chadli to open the scoring for Belgium.

That was exactly what he did throughout the game against England and made a mockery out of Danny Rose in the first half. The full-back bombed forward whenever he sensed an opportunity and was a handful for the English defenders on countless occasions.

Meunier, who took no part in Belgium's semi-final loss against France due to suspension, showed what the Red Devils were missing in that game and acted as a reliable attacking outlet on the right flank.

The 26-year-old was also an integral part of Belgium's counter-attacking exploits during the game and raised a few concerns for the English defenders.
