After a heartbreaking summer as a member of the England team that was defeated by Spain to win Euro 2024, Bellingham had a difficult start to the club season.

But on Sunday night, Bellingham was back to his best, contributing two assists to England’s 5-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland at Wembley.

Before being replaced by Thomas Tuchel in January, interim manager Lee Carsley played his final game in control of the team.

Bellingham posted a 25-word parting message to Carsley on Instagram following the game.
