Jude Bellingham broke an England record in the Three Lions’ World Cup game against Ghana on Tuesday.
Thomas Tuchel’s side were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw against their Group L opponents at the Boston Stadium.
Harry Kane should have scored in the final minutes, but England failed to create many chances throughout the match.
Attacking midfielder Bellingham, who scored a superb goal against Croatia, did not make an impact in his 73 minutes on the pitch.
The only positive for the Real Madrid star was that he made English football history when the game kicked off in Boston.
The England record Jude Bellingham broke against Ghana
Jude Bellingham became the youngest England player to reach 50 caps for the senior national team against Ghana.
Bellingham is 22 years and 359 days old, more than 100 days younger than the previous record-holder, Wayne Rooney.
Rooney was 23 years and 159 days old when he earned his 50th cap in a 2-1 victory over Ukraine in 2009.
Rooney played 120 times for England in total, the second most of all time behind former goalkeeper Peter Shilton (125).
Current England captain Harry Kane is third on the all-time list, with 116 caps—one more than David Beckham.
If Bellingham can maintain his elite level and avoid long-term injuries, he could break Shilton’s longstanding record.
England fans will be hoping that Bellingham makes six more appearances at this World Cup, as that could also mean reaching the final.
