Belgium staged a remarkable comeback from two goals down to beat Senegal 3-2 after extra time and book their place in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16.

Senegal looked set to advance after goals from Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr gave them a deserved 2-0 lead with only minutes remaining in normal time.

However, substitute Romelu Lukaku pulled one back before Youri Tielemans headed in the equaliser in the 89th minute to make it 2-all and send the match into extra time.

Belgium completed the comeback in the 125th minute when Tielemans calmly converted a penalty after a VAR review ruled that Lamine Camara had fouled him inside the box.

Belgium will now face either the United States or Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 16.

Meanwhile, England defeated the Democratic Republic of the Congo 2-1 to advance to the Round of 16, where they will face Mexico.

The United States will face Bosnia and Herzegovina at 12pm today.
