'Make it happen' - Jude Bellingham World Cup masterclass leaves Liverpool fans saying the same thing

Jude Bellingham capped off his first World Cup start with a wonderful headed goal in England's World Cup opener against Iran.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder - who was just 14 when the Three Lions made it to the semi-finals in Russia - started alongside Declan Rice in midfield, and bombing on with his usual grace on 35 minutes, ran onto a perfect Luke Shaw cross to glance his header into the far corner.

A first round goal is no doubt the ideal way for the 19-year-old to kick off a tournament in which many believe he will be the breakout star, and a string of fine performances on the world stage will definitely attract the interest of Europe's top sides - including Liverpool.
