Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin helped inspire Belgium to a dramatic fightback from 2-0 down to defeat Senegal and book a place in the last 16 of the World Cup.

The Belgians were trailing to goals from Diarra and Sar when Belgium head coach Rudi Garcia threw on Raskin and Dodi Lukebakio for Kevin de Bruyne and Jeremy Doku after 55 minutes at Seattle Stadium.

And goals from substitute striker Romelu Lukaku and midfielder Youri Tielemans in the last four minutes of normal time forced extra time.

Captain Tielemans was then brought down inside stoppage time of extra time and scored the winner from the penalty spot.

Belgium await the winners of the tie between hosts United States and Bosnia-Herzegovina, a game that will again be played in Seattle on Monday.
