Jude Bellingham scored the spectacular 96th-minute goal that kept England in the match and the tournament, but the celebrations that followed left some offended. “An inside gesture to some close friends who were at the game.

Gareth Southgate’s straitjacket crushes England again — but a lesson emerges
There was a minute left of Gareth Southgate’s reign, the clock ticking down on a dismal tournament that seemed a demoralising end to the second-best reign of all time. England Manager. Until a flight Jude Bellingham intervened. Until Bellingham underlined that he has the combination of talent, technique and temperament that promises great things. Southgate had reasons to substitute him: he had received a yellow card for a careless foul on Lukas Haraslin and had been unwise enough to touch the referee. He had experienced a bad game.
But there was one moment of brilliance: an overhead kick, an injury-time equaliser, a lifeline, a goal that could change England’s history and Southgate’s reign. “Who else?” shouted Bellingham. The last 94 minutes had shown that no one was going to score for England. The closest they came to a goal in the first half was when Dennis Vavro fired home after 10 seconds. Harry KaneHeader and the ball bounced 30 yards to Martin Dubravka. Most of the time they weren’t making any progress, going backwards and going out at the same time. But Bellingham’s European Championship now includes two glorious goals, if too few in the 347 minutes that lay between them.
And Southgate looked like a fan of his supposed superstars, ignoring the evidence of the game and hoping against hope that they would deliver, relying on their reputation. But some reputations are forged for a reason.

Trent Alexander-Arnold can dispel the Gareth Southgate myth with obvious changes at England
The Trent Alexander Arnold The experiment is dead. Time for another Trent Alexander-Arnold experiment. LiverpoolThe vice-captain of seems to be an unrecognised, undervalued talent at international level. His stint in midfield, which lasted 123 minutes against Serbia and Denmark, was so significant, such a scientific voyage of discovery, that it acquired a status of its own. It was an “experiment”.
That it was considered a failure became apparent when Gareth Southgate worked his way through a number of Declan Rice’s partners in the game against Slovakia — Kobbie Mainoo for his skill, Conor Gallagher for his bribery, Jude Bellingham for his overhead kicks — and no scenario called for Alexander-Arnold.
At least not as a midfielder. But there was a pressing need for Alexander-Arnold in his original form, as a revolutionary right-back, as a superb creator, as a player with the ability to do extraordinary things. There seemed to be a change of heart when Gary Neville, EnglandUntil a few weeks ago, he was the right-back with the most appearances. said it was “illegal” that Alexander-Arnold did not play“He is the best right-back we have ever seen in this country,” said Neville, a rather prosaic talent who recognized an extraordinary one.

England were on the verge of a major upset and were in the lead for much of the game after Ivan Schranz’s early goal.
Southgate’s position was under threat, but his decision to hold on to his core players paid off as they turned a potential defeat into a decisive victory and kept England’s dreams alive.
But the pundits were not impressed with England’s performance and boos often echoed through the stadium. And while others called for a revolution at half-time, Southgate sent the same team out again — much to the disappointment of commentators and fans alike.
