Belgium 1-1 Egypt: Romelu Lukaku shows class is permanent after making instant impact – and how birthday boy Mohamed Salah’s surprise role was a tactical masterstroke, writes LEWIS STEELE

Egypt will be left sleepless in Seattle after missing several gilt-edged chances to record their first-ever World Cup victory.

Second-half substitute Romelu Lukaku made his presence felt just 22 seconds after coming on to force an Egypt mistake and own goal as Belgium came from behind to draw.

It came after Mohamed Salah and Co squandered several promising openings to extend their lead in Washington state, with Emam Ashour putting them ahead with a thunderous strike in the first half.
