France coach Zinedine Zidane heaped praise on forward Michael Olise, whose wonder-goal helped Les Bleus beat Belgium 1-0 in a Nations League Group A clash here on Monday.

Olise came off the bench and unleashed a stunning strike from the edge of the box in the 88th minute, after dribbling through the Belgium defence from his own half.

"I saw Olise dribble past a defender, and I said to myself: ‘He's going to score.' He is an extraordinary talent. He has a great sense of the game, he anticipates the opponent's movements, and knows when to attack and when to drop back," said Zidane.
