Hazard's goal was sheer class

Belgium's defence did zilch that's worthy of commendation. But then again, this Belgium team needs to win games with their attack and that's exactly what they did.

They came out swinging against the Tunisians and bombed forward at every opportunity. Yannick Carrasco and Thomas Meunier saw plenty of the ball as did Witsel, Hazard, De Bruyne and Mertens.

Even after going 3-1 up, Belgium didn't hold back. De Bruyne kept picking out his attackers with unparalleled precision and the forwards kept making those runs in behind the defenders. You would have expected them to sit back and calm down once the 4th one went in but following the introduction of Michy Batshuayi, they decided not to take their foot off the gas.

As a result, they created at least half a dozen chances in the last 15 minutes and got a goal for it. Attack is the best form of defence as far as the Red Devils are concerned and if they attack like this, they needn't worry too much about their backline woes.
