Jordan Henderson has been teased by Belgian star Thomas Meunier for the way he won a penalty for England.
It came during their 2-1 victory over Belgium in the Nations League in a vital victory.
He leads the Three Lions to the top of Group 2 by one point after a second half winner from Mason Mount.
Romelu Lukaku scored the first goal after being fouled by Eric Dier in the box and it looked like they could score even more.
But instead the game changed during an England corner when Meunier fouled Henderson in the box.
The Borussia Dortmund star put a hand on the midfielder’s shoulder and fell to the ground.
Rashford converted the resulting penalty, which was a topic of conversation throughout the match.
The Red Devils pressed for the winner, but it was the home team that took the lead through Chelsea star Mount, with a deflected effort.
And full time, Henderson and Meunier had an exchange of words, which was quite nice, it must be said.

The defender could be seen taunting the Liverpool captain, even mimicking his downfall.
“I stepped in front of my man and felt him pull me back on my shoulder,” she told Sky Sports. “I felt it was a shame!”
In another interview, he said: “It was very nice to play for England again.
“It was nice to play again after a while. It was a good match to come in, Belgium is a very good team.
“We have to be delighted with the level of performance and get the three points.
“We managed the game very well, especially in the second half. I thought we were much stronger and we created one or two chances from which I think we could have scored and defended well in general.
“We know with the players that they have to create problems, but I think we kept it to a minimum and managed to score the points, which is important.
“I wasn’t sure it was a penalty, but I was pretty sure it was. I was in front of him and he leaned back on my shoulder.
“After that, we grew in confidence in the game, after talking about a few things tactically at halftime.
“We want to compete with the best teams, and Belgium certainly is.
“We compete very well and that is what we want to do, continue competing and growing and you never know where that can lead us.”
