Tielemans leads Belgium to victory over Wales

Youri Tielemans supplied a goal and an assist as Belgium beat Wales 4-3 in a dramatic World Cup qualifier in Brussels on Monday.

The Aston Villa midfielder was captaining his country for the fifth time and played a vital role in their victory, with club colleague Amadou Onana alongside him.

With Belgium already a goal up, Tielemans finished off after neat play down the left-hand side to double lead after just 19 minutes.

Despite Belgium scoring again, Wales got one back before the break and managed to score twice after the restart to bring the game level.

However, with just two minutes remaining, it was Tielemans' perfect cross in to the far post that set up the winner for Manchester City legend Kevin de Bruyne.

The result marks Belgium's first victory in World Cup qualifying following a disappointing draw against North Macedonia in their opening game.

Now 28, Tielemans has racked up 77 appearances for his country.
