JUDE BELLINGHAM strutted around the pitch as if he owned it.
This was his stage and Bellingham showed that England are blessed to have the best and most exciting talent at the Euros.
Incredibly, this is Bellingham's third major tournament, he is a La Liga winner, a Champions League winner and is now a European Championship goal scorer.
And he is not even 21 until June 29. Bellingham was just magnificent, powering home a header to give the Three Lions a precious victory even if it was rarely comfortable.
England lost control of the game as it wore on, allowed Serbia back into it and Gareth Southgate's men were hanging on by the end.
Bellingham, who is making the iconic No.10 shirt his own, was England's standout player while Bukayo Saka was also superb down England's left wing.
It was Saka who created the goal.
