PHIL FODEN admitted he feared the worst before Jude Bellingham saved England from a Euros disaster.
Manchester City star Foden has already been back home once in this tournament and did not want to fly back to England again.
He had a grandstand view of Bellingham's spectacular 95th -minute equaliser against Slovakia as he had just been substituted and was walking round the edge of the pitch.
"I thought I'm 30 seconds away from doing baby feeds at home... so thanks to Jude for that, thanks for doing it, saved me there," laughed Foden.
"No, honestly, it's unbelievable, what he did, yeah, just sums Jude up, he never gives up until the end." Foden, 24, went on a whistle-stop return home last week when his partner Rebecca Cooke gave birth to their third child. The England forward explained that the birth was pre-planned, in the diary and he was full of praise for Gareth Southgate accommodating his wish to be back for the birth of their son.
