Belgium winger Adnan Januzaj believes he has shown sceptical English fans his true quality after downing the Three Lions with a sweetly-struck winner in here on Thursday. Januzaj toyed with Danny Rose before unleashing a classy finish to hand Belgium a 1-0 win over England. The Red Devils duly topped Group G with maximum points, which could turn out to be a dubious honour if it leads to a quarter-final meeting with Brazil.

But for Januzaj there was a case of personal pride — as well as national interest — at stake. He was briefly flavour of the month when he came through the ranks at Manchester United, with suggestions the Football Association had even looked into his eligibility for England. His Old Trafford career soon went off the boil and he left for Real Sociedad after an unsuccessful loan stint at Sunderland spelled the end of his EPL adventure.
