I don't think so, just a very good finish.

better off playing hazard as a striker

That little **** doesn't want to play for Belgium in FM whenever I try to call him up to the squad.

Meh, was a bit of a late reaction but that shot was very strong and curved a bit right where he could have made the save.

Seen much, much worse recently (in the Bundesliga)

I don't think you can blame the keeper here. He kept Algeria in the game with that save against Origi.

The mistake happened earlier. The two defenders in the middle both don't know which guy they should mark.

The goalkeeper inexplicably stops charging down Mertens too early and made the save much too difficult for himself. I can see both sides.

For me the major mistake is the guy who moves backwards instead of making a step towards Hazard, either winning the ball or at least committing a foul.
