HEY, JUDE IS NOT ONLY STAR

Bellingham steps up again as Saka and Mainoo show their class

- Jeremy CROSS

HE WEARS Three Lions on his chest and his heart on his sleeve. While we all know where his (golden) balls are.

And he will be the pin-up superstar of English football for a long, long time to come.

Welcome to the new world of Jude Bellingham. A young bloke who now has as much responsibility on his shoulders, as talent in his feet.

Someone who wants vindication as much as he craves victories on the international stage.

And make no mistake, despite all his success at club level with Real Madrid following a sensational first season in the Spanish capital, this was the biggest game of Bellingham's career to date. The chance to help England reach another semi-final of a major tournament.

The chance to inspire England one step closer to that Holy Grail of a trophy.

Yet even someone as gifted as Bellingham has to let others take the plaudits sometimes.

Whisper it, but there are two more young superstars in the English ranks, who might not court the same headlines, but will make plenty of them in the years to come. And most of them will be positive.
