Switzerlan­d 1 Belgium 2 By Peter Edwards

MANCHESTER CITY winger Kevin De Bruyne scored a stunning 83rd-minute winner as Belgium warmed up for Euro 2016 by beating Switzerlan­d in Geneva.

He made space just outside the penalty area before blasting the ball into the top corner to complete a comeback win for Marc Wilmots’ side, one of the favourites for next month’s competitio­n in France.

The Swiss had gone ahead against the run of play through Blerim Dzemaili after 31 minutes, but Everton striker Romelu Lukaku levelled with a poacher’s goal from close range two minutes later.

Liverpool’s Divock Origi might have given Belgium a two-goal winning margin but Yann Sommer produced a fine save to deny him.
