Bellingham denies Belgium at the death as England secure draw at Wembley

England 2-2 Belgium
by Layth Yousif
at Wembley Stadium

FUTURE Ballon d’Or winner Jude Bellingham rescued Gareth Southgate’s misfiring England with a last-gasp leveller in front of 80,733 fans at a sodden Wembley Stadium on Tuesday evening.

The world-class Real Madrid star — via Stourbridge — grabbed a draw in the fifth minute of time added on, when only four was announced, as the Three Lions avoided a second defeat on the bounce, following the 1-0 loss to Brazil at the same venue at the weekend.

Perhaps a draw was harsh on a lively Belgian side, propelled by a plethora of Premier League stars — none more so than Youri Tielemans, who grabbed both visitors’ goals, sandwiched in between an Ivan Toney penalty.
