Tuesday evening saw our internationals' respective countries enjoy sweeping success - with Patrick van Aanholt's Netherlands overcoming Gibraltar 7-0.
Christian Benteke and Michy Batshuayi, meanwhile, bagged goals against Belarus having been unused substitutes in Belgium’s victory over Wales and draw with Czech Republic.
Senegal faced Eswatini in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, after Cheikhou Kouyate was part of a side that kept a clean sheet last time out. They drew 1-1, with Kouyate bagging in the game's dying seconds. After appearing as a substitute in their comfortable victory over Niger, Wilfried Zaha made it two out of two as the Ivory Coast beat Ethiopia on Tuesday afternoon.
On Wednesday, Eberechi Eze scored an early penalty for England Under-21s in their crucial European Championship fixture. However the young Lions - who required a two-goal win to progress - were left heartbroken after a last-minute Croatia strike saw them eliminated.
Earlier in the break, Wayne Hennessey earned his 95th cap with a clean sheet against Mexico last time out – only Chris Gunter has more Dragons caps than the Palace goalkeeper.
