Golden Boy Shines Again!
There were high hopes on England’s golden Boy Jude Bellingham to shine. And boy did he not disappoint. The Three Lions started the game on positive note, eager to grab an opening goal. In a bid to counter the English charge, Serbia executed a low block to counter the barrages of attacks.
But the deadlock was broken in the 13th minute of the game. Ever a menace on the right flank, Bukayo Saka went past his marker Filip Kostic to attempt a cross. But the ball took the aerial route after hitting the foot of the defender. While targetman Harry Kane moved forward, he drew the defenders with him, only for an advancing Jude Bellingham to head into the back of the net.
England continued to dominate traffic after getting the opening goal. Jude Bellingham was again at the heart of everything. Be it snatching or making some audacious passes.
