Marcus Edwards joins exclusive Champions League club including Jude Bellingham and David Beckham

Former Tottenham Hotspur starlet Marcus Edwards made his mark in the Champions League this week - joining an exclusive club of English players in the process.

While a number of England's Lionesses have moved to the best teams on the continent - including Barcelona's new world record signing Keira Walsh - things have been different in the men's game. Edwards is just the ninth among a select group of players to score a Champions League goal for a non-British side, albeit not the first this week.

The 23-year-old was on target for Sporting CP as the Lisbon side recorded an impressive 3-0 victory over reigning Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. His goal came less than 24 hours after England international midfielder Jude Bellingham found the net for Borussia Dortmund as the Bundesliga side won by the same scoreline at home to FC Copenhagen.
