Tielemans Shrugs Off Bust-Up With Trossard Before Belgium’s Epic Comeback Against Senegal

1 / 3

Youri Tielemans has dismissed talk of a feud with Leandro Trossard after their on-field dust-up during Belgium’s stunning World Cup fightback against Senegal. With Belgium trailing 2-0 near elimination, the pair clashed at a hydration break, requiring Romelu Lukaku and Nicolas Raskin to step in after Trossard shoved Tielemans. Any sign of animosity vanished as the two later combined to spark the comeback. Trossard set up Tielemans for the equaliser and the Aston Villa midfielder then converted the winning penalty in extra time – the latest goal ever scored in World Cup history. Tielemans told reporters the heated moment was just passion at work and that the squad remains united. Source: ESPN.
