Gary Neville and Roy Keane have praised yet another superb Jude Bellingham display, as England romped to a comfortable last-16 victory over Senegal in Qatar.
The Borussia Dortmund man was a constant threat for Gareth Southgate's side, having been heavily involved in the build-up to both of England's first two goals. Showing his superb midfield prowess, the former Birmingham City man burst through the pitch, laying the ball through to Liverpool's Jordan Henderson to slot home.
Harry Kane grabbed England's second soon after, with Bellingham again exploding through the gears to pick out Phil Foden, who in turn found the Three Lions captain as he thundered home his first goal of the competition. Bellingham continues to be linked with a move to Merseyside this summer, with Keane and Neville insisting the Birmingham-born star is only going to keep improving.

''He’s going to be a superstar that kid, the word we keep saying, maturity, it’s like he’s played 100 times for England. Fantastic performance,'' began Keane, as he spoke during the interval.
Neville was quick to follow up on his former Manchester United teammates' comments, adding how his midfield tracking allowed the team to push further up the pitch and open the scoring at the Al Bayt Stadium.
''He’s been absolutely incredible in that half, even in the first 10 minutes. He was the one that was hunting people down, he’s so young yet he’s got real quality and that composure he’s shown in that final third has been absolutely fantastic,'' added Neville via ITV.
