Gary Lineker has raved about Liverpool target Jude Bellingham after his performance for England against Senegal on Sunday night.
Bellingham started in the England midfield and had to dig in during a frustrating opening 30 minutes.
The Borussia Dortmund star had his say though, setting up Jordan Henderson to give England a 1-0 lead.
Bellingham then produced a stunning run from midfield to play in Phil Foden, who found Harry Kane to make it 2-0.
Bukayo Saka added number three after the break, setting up England’s quarter-final clash with France on Saturday.

The hype around Bellingham has been building for some time.
The breakthrough at Birmingham City, playing regular Championship football before joining Dortmund, having his shirt number retired at Birmingham.
Taking to the Bundesliga like it’s nothing, now becoming England’s driving force from midfield; it’s easy to forget that Bellingham is only 19.
This was a truly exceptional display from Bellingham and he showed exactly why Europe’s elite are fighting over him.
Liverpool would love to sign Bellingham and still hold out hope that he will make a big-money move in the summer of 2023.
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg even claims that Jurgen Klopp is pushing for Liverpool to sign Bellingham.
Liverpool will have to dig deep if they want to complete that deal and his price tag may only rise and rise due to his World Cup heroics.
Pundit and Match of the Day host Gary Lineker took to Twitter on Sunday to rave about Bellingham, who may just be the future of English football.
Lineker suggested that Bellingham is already ‘unbelievably good’, believing that he is even a leader in the England team before turning 20.
Lineker added that he loves Bellingham and believes his parents will be so proud of the player and man he has become as his rapid ascent continues.
