Bellingham proves them all wrong: BVB star shines for England | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund’s Jobe Bellingham is making waves with England’s U21s. Against Kazakhstan, the BVB star shone with two assists.

Jobe Bellingham made an impressive return in the England U21 shirt. In the 4–2 win over Kazakhstan, the Borussia Dortmund player contributed two assists. The 21-year-old also captained his team and stayed on the pitch for the full match.

However, the game initially unfolded differently than England had hoped. Kazakhstan caught the hosts off guard and took a 1–0 lead after just three minutes. It was only as the match went on that the English side found their rhythm. An own goal brought the equalizer after nearly half an hour.

Then it was Bellingham’s time to shine. The BVB midfielder set up Josh Acheampong, who turned the game around to make it 2–1. However, that lead did not last long: Kazakhstan made it 2–2 before the break. After halftime, England took control of the scoreline again. Around the hour mark, the Young Three Lions went back in front. Will Lankshear eventually put the finishing touch on the match in stoppage time.

He had also recently picked up an assist for BVB. In the 1–0 win over VfB Stuttgart, he set up Maximilian Beier’s decisive goal. Ethan Nwaneri also got some playing time against Kazakhstan. The England international, who also plays for Dortmund, started the match but was taken off after 69 minutes and did not register a goal contribution.

Meanwhile, England are in a comfortable position in the European Championship qualifiers. With 22 points from eight matches, the U21s sit top of their group. However, Slovakia and Ireland—two of their strongest rivals—still await in the final games. That means Bellingham will soon have more chances to back up his strong performance.
