In a thrilling display of skill and composure, Jude Bellingham continued his remarkable form from his debut season with Real Madrid, scoring the decisive goal in the 13th minute to secure England’s narrow 1-0 victory over Serbia on Sunday.
The young English midfielder’s stellar performance left fans and pundits alike in awe, reinforcing his status as one of the brightest talents in European football.
England manager Gareth Southgate could hardly contain his admiration for the 20-year-old star. Despite the match yielding only one goal, Southgate was quick to commend not only Bellingham but also the entire attacking lineup for their efforts.

“He writes his own script. The timing of his runs. It was a super bit of play in the build-up of his play. I think all of our forward players looked really good. I am confident we will score goals.”
“ Playing against a back five it is not easy to create chances and we did. I liked the fact we had to suffer without the ball because that is an area we have worked on a lot this week. We were obviously much better than last week at doing that.”
“Jude was exceptional once again. His ability to read the game and make impactful plays at crucial moments is truly impressive. But it wasn’t just Jude; our entire attacking unit worked tirelessly and created numerous opportunities. It was a collective effort, and I’m proud of how the team performed.”
The Three Lions’ boss also emphasized the importance of maintaining this momentum as the tournament progresses. England’s next challenge will come on Thursday, when they face Denmark at the Waldstadion in Frankfurt. Southgate is confident that his squad, led by captain Harry Kane, will rise to the occasion and continue to showcase their attacking prowess.
“We have a strong group of players who are determined to succeed. Denmark will be a tough opponent, but I believe in our team’s ability to deliver when it matters most. We’re looking forward to building on this victory and taking another step towards our goal,” Southgate added.
