Trossard scores and assists against Italy

Leandro Trossard registered a goal and an assist for Belgium in Thursday's 2-2 draw away to Italy.

First half goals from Andrea Cambiaso and Mateo Retegui had Italy 2-0 up in 24 minutes, but they were reduced to ten men following the sending off of Lorenzo Pellegrini five minutes before half-time.

Belgium took advantage, Maxim De Cuyper reducing the arrears, assisted by a lay-off from Trossard, before our forward added Belgium’s second in the 61st minute, flicking the ball past Gianluigi Donarumma from a Wout Faes header.
