Sport Football Belgium vs England LIVE: Result and reaction as Lionesses suffer Nations League defeat Belgium 3-2 England: A dream start for the hosts helped them get revenge for a 5-0 drubbing in Bristol last week
Belgium produced a stunning first-half performance to upset England in Leuven for a second time in three years.
Having been beaten 5-0 in Bristol on Friday, the hosts were much improved with returning skipper Tessa Wullaert making a major impact. The forward scored twice and set up another as Belgium surged into a 3-0 advantage, cutting the Lionesses to ribbons with their counter-attacking play. Without Alessia Russo and Lauren James due to injury, Sarina Wiegman ’s side lacked quality and could not get into their flow of possession.
Beth Mead’s first-half penalty gave them a foothold but it took until late on for England to grab a second as debutant Michelle Agyemang made a remarkable first impression at international level. Her sublime take and volleyed finish gave the visitors hope of a late equaliser but it did not arrive, with Belgium deserved winners in the Women’s Nations League.
Re-live all of the action from Leuven in our live blog below:
Belgium 1-0 England, 5 minutes Well that will rather focus English minds after encountering limited resistance on Friday. It did look a little too easy for Belgium to break beyond them, there - work to do for Sarina Wiegman’s side.

GOAL! BELGIUM 1-0 England (Tessa Wullaert, 4 minutes) What a start for Belgium! A clinical finish from Tessa Wullaert!
Back in the side and back amongst the goals! Niamh Charles is caught too deep as the rest of the Englnad backline try to play offside, allowing the home skipper to run free down the right. Hannah Hampton closes the angle but Wullaert is good enough to find a finish, a friendly kiss off the inside of the post giving the hosts the fastest of starts.

Belgium 0-0 England, 2 minutes Some neat play down the left from England with Jess Park and Niamh Charles working well, but Grace Clinton doesn’t quite have the burst to capitalise on a forward pass.

Belgium 0-0 England, 1 minute Nikita Parris is through the centre for England, supported by Beth Mead and Aggie Beever-Jones in the forward line. It looks like a back three or five again for the hosts, as we anticipated.

Belgium vs England Into the Leuven evening the players emerge, the temperature dropping a bit and a decent crowd in. England’s last away defeat came here at Den Dreef - those that have travelled to Flanders (and there are a fair few) will be hoping not to see a repeat.

Belgium vs England Now then - a pretty punchy statement from Sarina Wiegman ahead of kick off, confirming what her recent selections have revealed: Hannah Hampton is now England’s No 1
“At this moment, she is a little bit ahead [of Mary Earps,]” Wiegman tells ITV. “We have two world-class goalkeepers, and a group of four goalkeepers who are really good, so it is tough choice. But at the moment, Hannah is a little bit ahead.”

Can Beth Mead impress again? One of the big winners of England’s outing at Bristol was Beth Mead, perhaps beginning to come under pressure for her place as other talents emerge but producing a timely reminder of her quality on the right-hand side. She might be even more important a figure tonight in a forward line shorn of Alessia Russo and Lauren James - though Nikita Parris has plenty of experience, of course.
