Playing the full 90 minutes for the Red Devils, the Palace forward was unfortunate not to score when he saw an effort cleared off the line and later struck the left post shortly before full-time, however he earned a consolidatory award as he assisted teammate Eden Hazard to his second and his country's third of the night.

On the bench last night was Christian Benteke, who featured as part of the Belgium squad for the first time since June 2018.
