Jude Bellingham's 'chip on his shoulder' is bad news for England's World Cup rivals
Bellingham's second-half goal, created by an excellent pass from Elliot Anderson but finished by a raging run from the Real Madrid midfielder down the right, gave England a 3-2 lead shortly after half-time. There was a talismanic quality to it, as Bellingham showed he was faster, stronger and more driven than his opponents.
That's what Bellingham brings to this England team. The Three Lions have a collection of wonderful individuals, including the Ballon d'Or favourite, Harry Kane. But Bellingham brings a swagger and bravado that suggests he will take over a game at any point. Last Wednesday, for 15 glorious minutes, he did just that.
