Football News: Jude Bellingham Leads England to Victory in Euro 2024 Opener

In a highly anticipated Euro 2024 opener, England’s midfield maestro Jude Bellingham spearheaded his side’s 1-0 victory over Serbia at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen.

The 21-year-old, who recently helped Real Madrid clinch the Champions League trophy, continued his impressive form by scoring the decisive goal with a superb header in the first half. Bellingham’s all-action performance was the driving force behind England’s solid start to the tournament, as Gareth Southgate’s men secured three crucial points in their Group B clash.

Despite a strong first-half showing, England were forced to cling on in the second period as Serbia piled on the pressure. Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made a crucial save to deny Dusan Vlahovic, while captain Harry Kane cleared a headed effort off the line to preserve the slim lead.

“The win marks a positive start to England’s Euro 2024 campaign, with Bellingham leading the way as the Three Lions look to build momentum and challenge for the title. Fans and pundits alike will be keen to see if Southgate’s side can maintain this level of performance as the tournament progresses.”
