With club football taking a break this weekend, all eyes have turned to the international stage as Europe’s top players aim to drive their countries through the next round of World Cup qualifiers. Hopeful nations clashed across the continent giving some of the biggest names in Europe a chance to impress on the grand stage.
With so may top players in action over the weekend, we’ve picked out five of the best who impressed during this round of fixtures.
3Eden Hazard – Belgium
Hazard has been in decent form for Chelsea so far this season and already has two Premier League goals under his belt. The Belgium captain impressed again on Friday night with a classy goal to put his country 2-0 up against Bosnia.
Dries Mertens split the weak defence to play in Hazard, who rounded his club teammate Asmir Begovic before rolling the ball into an empty net from a tight angle.
The captain offered his fellow countrymen a quality outlet throughout the night and was able to have a significant impact on the game from the left wing. The Red Devils now sit joint top of their qualifying group level on points with Greece.
