In Glasgow, Jude Bellingham gave a masterclass to help England defeat Scotland and earn bragging rights. The Real Madrid star scored his ninth goal in his past eight games for club and country on Tuesday in a high-profile friendly encounter that commemorated the 150th anniversary of the first-ever international football game between the two longtime rivals.
After Phil Foden had already guided Kyle Walker’s effort past Angus Gunn, he received an unbelievable gift from Scotland captain Andy Robertson to score England’s second goal in the span of just three first-half minutes, which startled Hampden Park.
With just under 25 minutes remaining, the Tartan Army received a lifeline when Three Lions substitute Harry Maguire unintentionally diverted a Robertson cross. However, Gareth Southgate’s team would not be deterred as captain Harry Kane scored late on to restore their two-goal lead following more brilliant play from Bellingham.
The team made six changes from Saturday’s dull 1-1 draw with Ukraine in Euro 2024 qualification. Watch the Scotland vs. England response live below, along with Dan Kilpatrick’s insightful commentary from Hampden Park.
