Belgium 2 England 0: Meunier and Hazard Goals Flush Away England To Take Third Place
The Red Devils of Belgium cruised to a fine third place spot after defeating the Three Lions of England.
All thanks to Thomas Meunier early minute goal and late Eden Hazard who ensured that they secure Belgium’s best performance at a World Cup as they edged England 2-0 in the third-place play-off in St Petersburg on Saturday.
Recall that Belgium fell to a slim 1-0 defeat to France on Tuesday.
The Red Devils’ vaunted golden generation lifted themselves off the canvass to improve upon the fourth-place finish managed by Enzo Scifo, Jan Ceulemans and company in 1986.
