🤯 Bellingham matches Maradona: England star makes history! | OneFootball

A ridiculously short 98 seconds separated Jude Bellingham’s two goals in the World Cup Round of 16 clash between Mexico and England.

In the 36th and 38th minutes respectively, the former BVB star was on hand to put the Three Lions 2-0 up in the meantime.

But that’s not all: Bellingham is the first player in 40 years to score a brace at Mexico City’s legendary Azteca Stadium.

In doing so, the 23-year-old follows in the footsteps of none other than Diego Maradona. In the semi-finals of the 1986 World Cup, the Argentine legend also scored twice against Belgium.

Maradona, by the way, also managed the same feat earlier in that tournament in the quarter-finals — of all teams, against England! In one of the most famous football matches of all time, he scored once after an incredible solo run and once with the so-called “Hand of God.”
