BIG MATCH

Belgium have now won their last seven World Cup first-round group games. They had won just eight of their previous 24 at this stage.

This is the first time in their 15 World Cup appearances England have failed to keep a clean sheet in the first-round group stages of a tournament.

Belgium have won all three of their group-stage games in consecutive World Cups, the first nation to do so since both Argentina and the Netherlands in 2010 and 2014.

Belgium are just the third team to have a 100 per cent win ratio at the 2018 World Cup, after Uruguay and Croatia.

This is the first World Cup match England failed to score in that didn’t finish 0-0 since losing 0-1 vs Portugal in 1986.

England had 11 shots in this match but failed to score. They also had 11 shots in their previous match against Panama, scoring six times.

Belgium’s goal came from their first shot of any kind in the second half.
