Euro 2024: Jude Bellingham’s Brilliant Header Seals England’s 1-0 Win Over Serbia

New Delhi: Jude Belingham’s stunner goal got England ‘s 2024 campaign off to a flying start but a 1-o victory over Serbia in Gelsenkirchen failed to banish doubts over the Three Lion’s quest to become European champions for the first time.

Bellingham was showing his class on the pitch as the Real Madrid midfielder’s header on 13 minutes displayed a fine individual performance.

Expectations for England ahead of a major tournament have rarely been higher, but the team had won just one of its previous five matches, including a 1-0 defeat to Iceland in its final warm-up match before heading to Germany.

Restored to full strength, it seemed everything would be alright on the night for Gareth Southgate’s squad, which made a dominant start befitting a Euro 2020 finalist.

On the eve of the game, Serbia coach Dragan Stojkovic hailed Jude Bellingham as a future Ballon d’Or winner, and the young star put on a show to justify his status as arguably the world’s best player on current form.

The 20-year-old played with the confidence of a newly-crowned Champions League winner, making the Serbian midfield look ineffective. Bellingham also demonstrated his physical prowess to open the scoring, showing why he is one of the most exciting talents in the game today.
