Syam Ben Youssef had an evening to forget.

He struggled to cope with the movement and flamboyance of the Belgian attack. Not much can be taken away from the fact that Eden Hazard and co. were on a different level at times during the game. But, it all comes down to the basics if analysed closely.

To start off, Ben Youssef was taken to the cleaners by Lukaku, whose strength and physical presence is unparalleled. He didn't get on the right side of the striker, and was always behind him - something that is against the basics.

Next, the 29-year-old fell asleep when he had to track the runs. Obviously, one player can't track the splendid movement that Eden Hazard, Yannick Carrasco, Kevin De Bruyne and Dries Mertens, but he could have complimented his fellow centre-half and worked out a plan. Neither of them were effective as such.

Lastly, he was not good enough while tackling either. Often too soft and sometimes caught in two minds, the center back succumbed to constant pressure and allowed more to come as the game went on.

Much to his despair, he left the field having picked up an injury.
