Son Heung-min drew a blank for South Korea, Kevin De Bruyne was unusually quiet for Belgium and Uruguay's Darwin Nunez was anonymous... the Premier League stars with a point to prove after dismal World Cup displays

The Premier League was highly-represented in the Middle East with 133 stars from 26 different nations and it was a memorable tournament for the likes of Manchester United trio Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Bruno Fernandes.

However, the same cannot be said for a handful of stars who either crashed out in the groups or struggled to deliver.
