England 0-1 Belgium: 5 Talking Points as Belgium top Group G, World Cup 2018

#4 Change in personnel for both sides

Both managers rung in the changes.

Both sides made a host of changes with Belgium resting all their big names like Hazard, De Bruyne and Lukaku. This afforded the reserves the opportunity to stake their claim for a starting spot by making the most of the opportunity: Thorgan Hazard, Adnan Januzaj, Dembele and Batshuayi benefiting from the absence of the stars. Defensively, Dendoncker, Boyata and Vermaelen played as a part of the back three.

England, meanwhile, decided to rest their key players with Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson, and Kyle Walker all missing out; Dier, Delph, Rashford, Vardy and Loftus-Cheek coming into the starting line-up.
