France got their UEFA Nations League campaign back on track with an impressive win against Belgium.

Didier Deschamps' side bounced back from Friday's defeat by Italy, seeing off a resilient Belgium side 2-0 in Lyon. While the Red Devils found some early joy against a much-changed France line-up, Les Bleus grew into the encounter and looked the more dangerous; they were rewarded midway through the first half.

Koen Casteels, at full stretch, did well to get a palm on Ousmane Dembele's effort from inside the box but Randal Kolo Muani was on hand to smash in the rebound.

France were more imposing and controlled in the second half, and Dembele's exquisitely driven finish sealed the points to take them level with Belgium in Group A2.

On the other hand, Italy overcame Israel 2-1 in Budapest to make it two wins from two.
