Worst
Danny Rose was handed a starting role by Gareth Southgate against Belgium in a bid to bolster their attacking options down the left flank but the move tremendously backfired as the full-back struggled to keep up with Thomas Meunier, who constantly made daring runs behind the Englishman.
Rose was caught napping as early as in the 4th minute during the build-up to Belgium’s opening goal when he was indulged in ball watching and failed to notice Meunier’s run from behind him that allowed the Belgian to find the back of the net.
There was no going back from that calamitous start for the Tottenham Hotspur man and he failed to get into the groove before being taken off at half-time, to cap off yet another disappointing outing for his country.
Best
The Manchester City midfielder is arguably one of the best play-makers in world football at the moment, and he reaffirmed his status at the top of that list with yet another convincing performance for Belgium against England.
It was a close shout between him and Toby Alderweireld for top spot on this list but the midfielder just about edged the battle after he registered an assist to his name after providing the killer pass for Eden Hazard’s goal late on in the second half.
De Bruyne was at his influential best during the game and acted as the conductor who carried out the responsibility of turning defence into attack with his incisive passing and uncompromising movement off the ball.
The Belgian also contributed massively to his side’s swift counter-attacking moves that yielded the right kind of results for The Red Devils.
