Jack Grealish earned praise from England manager Gareth Southgate after his performance against Belgium.

It was the Aston Villa star's first start for the Three Lions, who went down 2-0 against Roberto Martinez's side.

"Today was a great game for us to see him in. I couldn't speak highly enough of his performance," Southgate said.

"I thought Jack Grealish had an absolutely outstanding game. Losing Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford, we lose a lot of speed. But I can't fault the attacking play until the last chance.

"I saw what I knew I would see from Jack, someone with the bravery to play. He took the ball in tight areas, his technique was good, we knew he would buy a lot of free-kicks. I thought he was outstanding - he should be delighted. I explained to him what we wanted to see when we brought him in in September."
