Italy and Belgium played out an entertaining Nations League draw at the Stadio Olimpico.

The hosts went ahead after 59 seconds through Andrea Cambiaso and doubled their lead when Cambiaso had a shot saved and Mateo Retegui netted a rebound.

But the game changed when Italy had Lorenzo Pellegrini sent off after a video assistant referee call in the 39th minute for a dangerous tackle on Arthur Theate.

Moments later Maxim de Cuyper pulled one back with a fine finish from Leandro Trossard’s ball.

And Arsenal’s Trossard poked in a second-half equaliser.
