England midfielder Jude Bellingham scored a brilliant overhead kick in England’s round of 16 clash with Slovakia at the Euro 2024. The Three Lions were trailing 1-0 when the Real Madrid star put one in the back of the net.

The goal ensured England took the game to extra time where captain Harry Kane scored a header to take his side to the quarter-finals of the tournament. The official X handle of Euro 2024 has now shared the clip of the English youngster’s finish. They also suggested that the overhead kick from the 21-year-old was a Goal of the Round contender.

Jude Bellingham’s equaliser was a result of an accurate throw from England right-back Kyle Walker. The full-back made a long throw into the penalty box, finding his defence partner Marc Guehi. The 23-year-old jumped high in the air to head the ball towards the centre of the box. An unmarked Bellingham saw the scoring opportunity and pounced on it by lunging himself to hit the bicycle kick.

After scoring the stunner, the English forward celebrated with his captain Harry Kane by lifting his arms up in the air.

Bellingham was also awarded the Player of the Match for his heroics against Slovakia at the Veltins-Arena. In a post-game interview, the midfielder was also seen joking with a journalist. The 21-year-old suggested that the interviewer must have struck off a few questions after seeing England pull off a surprise comeback in the game.

“I’m sure you’ve got a few questions scribbled out on that piece of paper.” After sharing a brief chuckle the journalist asked Bellingham on who wrote his scripts. The England forward confidently replied, “I do!”
