Belgium fly out of Saint Petersburg after World Cup win over England

Jan Vertonghen has shared an image of a delighted Belgium squad flying out of Saint Petersburg after they secured third place at the World Cup on Saturday.

The Tottenham defender posted a picture of most members of Roberto Martinez's squad on a plane after they comfortably beat England 2-0 in the tournament's third-place play-off.

Goals from Thomas Meunier and Eden Hazard secured Belgium's best-ever performance at a World Cup and the squad looked delighted aboard their flight.

The likes of Thibaut Courtois, Marouane Fellaini and Toby Alderweireld were all in the group picture looking ecstatic with medals dangling from their necks.

Striker Michy Batshuayi also gave supporters a glimpse of the bronze medal he will take home with him from the tournament.

The Chelsea striker then joked on social media that he deserved the 'Golden Post' prize after his hilarious incident with the goal frame earlier in the competition.

After Adnan Janujaz put Belgium 1-0 up against England in the group stage with a curling effort from the edge of the box, Batshuayi decided a little extra celebration was required.

As his teammates peeled off in celebration, footage showed him picking up the ball before attempting to boot it into the net for a second time.

Unfortunately the ball rebounded off the post and clattered into the blundering striker's face.

When asked by a fan on social media who should win the Golden Ball, the award for the best player at the tournament, he replied: 'I don't know but I deserve the Golden Post.'

Manchester City shared their delight at club captain Vincent Kompany's success this summer by sharing an image of him celebrating in the dressing room.

The central defender played 90 minutes in the 2-0 win over England and kept Golden Boot favourite Harry Kane quiet throughout the game.

The reigning Premier League champions simply posted a photo of Kompany on their Twitter page with the caption: 'The Captain!'.
