Jude Bellingham received effusive praise for a "complete performance" as England began their World Cup campaign with a 6-2 win over Iran. Bellingham opened the scoring with his first England goal in the 35th minute and turned in a commanding display in midfield at just 19 years of age.
Former England and Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer hailed a "really, really impressive" display from Gareth Southgate's side and singled out Bellingham for special recognition.
"The young boy, can we call him that? He's not really now, he's a man isn't he? Bellingham. Oh my word what a performance, incredible," Shearer said on BBC1. "It was a complete performance from a really exciting player. It was a special day for him and for England."
