World Cup 2018: 3 reasons why Belgium beat England 2-0

#2 Eden Hazard's brilliance

Hazard signed off in style

Hazard has set the Premier League alight with his performances for Chelsea since bursting on to the scene for the first time in 2013.

However, he was yet to replicate those heroics with his national side on an international stage. But even that box has been ticked now after a stellar World Cup campaign.

He may not have led them to the ultimate prize, but played an instrumental role in the side's best ever finish with two goals and as many assists coming into the game. Today, he signed off in style with another talismanic display.

He got the ball in dangerous positions and caused all sorts of headaches to the English defence with his relentless dribbles: he completed seven on the night (twice more than any other player) and also laid three key passes.

Majority of Belgium's chance in the second-half came on the break and Hazard was at the heart of it all with terrific passing. But his best contribution of the night was when he rounded one of those moves to put the tie to bed.

Once again, England was caught out on the left as De Bruyne released Hazard with an incisive pass and the Chelsea star made no mistake, whipping one low beyond Pickford to double Belgium's lead.

With another fine performance, Hazard has strengthened his case for the Golden Ball award.
