Jude Bellingham delivered a masterclass to help England claim bragging rights against Scotland in Glasgow. The Real Madrid star was at his brilliant best in Tuesday’s high-profile friendly fixture that celebrated the 150th anniversary of the first-ever international football match between the two old rivals, scoring his ninth goal in his last eight matches for club and country.
He accepted an absolute gift from Scotland captain Andy Robertson to score England’s second goal in the space of just three first-half minutes that silenced a stunned Hampden Park after Phil Foden had already steered Kyle Walker’s effort beyond Angus Gunn. The Tartan Army were afforded a lifeline with just under 25 minutes to play after Three Lions substitute Harry Maguire accidentally turned a Robertson cross into his own net.
However, Gareth Southgate’s side - one that showed six changes from Saturday’s drab 1-1 draw with Ukraine in Euro 2024 qualifying - would not be denied as captain Harry Kane stepped up late on to restore their two-goal cushion after more Bellingham brilliance.
