Youri Tielemans scored a controversial last-gasp extra-time penalty winner for Belgium to complete an incredible 3-2 comeback win against Senegal in the last 32 of the World Cup.
Goals from Sunderland’s Habib Diarra and Crystal Palace’s Ismaila Sarr saw Belgium trail 2-0 in the 86th minute.
But Belgium substitute Romelu Lukaku and midfielder Tielemans scored twice in the space of three minutes to send the game into extra time.
Penalties loomed before Tielemans was brought down by Lamine Camara’s 117th-minute challenge and the referee gave a spot-kick after a lengthy VAR review at the pitchside monitor.
Speaking on ITV, Sky Sports pundits Roy Keane and Gary Neville disagreed with the penalty decision.
