Alan Shearer and Rio Ferdinand were left in complete awe by the performance of Jude Bellingham in England's opening World Cup win over Iran.
The 19-year-old started for his country and scored England's opener as they cruised to a 6-2 thumping at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha on Monday. It was the perfect start for Gareth Southgate's men who were three-nil up at the break.
Bukayo Saka scored twice, while goals from Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish added to Bellingham's 35th-minute header which set the ball rolling. But it wasn't just the teenager's goal which had pundits purring, as they hailed his all-round display at the heart of England's midfield.
