Shades of Keane and Gerrard in Bellingham display - Rooney
Jude Bellingham's performance against Mexico was reminiscent of heroic Champions League displays from Steven Gerrard and Roy Keane, according to Wayne Rooney. Bellingham, 23, scored twice in 98 seconds as Thomas Tuchel's side beat Mexico 3-2 despite finishing with 10 men in a World Cup clash at the Azteca. Rooney said on his BBC podcast, "I said Jude Bellingham was going to have a game when we're going to need him to drag us through."
The victory set up a quarter-final tie with Norway as England seeks its first major trophy since winning the tournament in 1966. Rooney likened Bellingham's performance to Gerrard's in helping Liverpool come from 3-0 down in the 2005 Champions League final against AC Milan, and to Keane's display against Juventus, which inspired Manchester United to reach the 1999 European Cup final. Rooney rated Bellingham's performance in the last-16 victory in Mexico's capital as a '10 out of 10'.
