4.5. His first test against a Premier League-quality defence really did not go very well. Musonda was completely out of the game, looked a little lost at times and was nowhere near Michy Batshuayi or Willian to link up with them. He is still young and still learning the game, but looked a little bit less enthusiastic than last time around.. 17. Belgium. CHARLY MUSONDA

7. Batshuayi had a solid, but slightly quiet game. He crashed into the post at one point, which looked nasty, but he got back on his feet and running around quickly. Batshuayi is looking more like Didier Drogba and less like Peter Crouch by the game. He held the ball up really well, showed quick feet and a willingness to drop for the pass. In games like this when the defence is sitting so deep it is hard to make those runs in behind, but he needs to make those efforts more.. 23. Belgium. MICHY BATSHUAYI

Ok, fine, his goal was beautiful link-up play with Cesc Fabregas and a lovely finish, but apart from that Willian had a dreadful game. Willian is an absolute gem off the pitch but on it he is making it really hard to like his game at the moment. He keeps beating a player then running right into the next defender. His flicks are a little mistimed and his passes are often off the mark.. 22. Brazil. WILLIAN . 4

Fabregas looked a little nervous – he might be worrying for his place with the return of Drinkwater. He continued his habit of making at least one tackle a game that looks wild and out of control.. 4. Spain. CESC FABREGAS. N/A

N/A. I actually completely forgot he came on. He didn’t really do anything.. 11. Spain. PEDRO

N/A. Morata did not have a great deal of time to impact the game and immediately started drifting out wide. He is in a bit of a funk at the moment that he needs to break out of. He does not seem tight, though, which is a good sign for the confidence.. 9. Spain. ALVARO MORATA
