‘A little Di Stefano, a little Zidane’ and ‘It was like Maradona’ were two of the latest headlines.

Bellingham did downplay those comparisons by stating that there is a long way to go to even get close to these legends of the game.

“That’s a bit too much,” he said. “It was a nice goal. From what I’ve seen on YouTube and documentaries, his quality was a bit more than mine, or a lot more. I’m just trying to contribute in a Jude way.

“It may have been one of my best goals. We were facing a great team and in a great stadium. The most important thing has been the victory and having contributed to it. It is important to continue with this pace.”
