Bellingham gives Liverpool response after Senegal win

The English took to the field at the Al Bayt Stadium where they took an important step towards their goal of lifting the World Cup again, just as they did in 1966 when, on home soil, they embroidered the only star on their shield so far. This time with a superb combination of veterans and youngsters, the 'Three Lions' outplayed Senegal by three goals to nil.

The game was tight from the start, but it took Liverpool FC captain Jordan Henderson in the closing stages of the first half to break the deadlock for the Africans, who were unable to hold out for the remaining two goals from the 'Creators of Football'. Senegal undoubtedly missed Anfield legend Sadio Mané in attack as they left the tournament with a clean sheet; zero goals.

Gareth Southgate boasted after the final whistle of a player who has been the talk of the winter, 19-year-old Jude Bellingham, who has had an enviable World Cup, where he has surprised the footballing world with his talent. Bellingham broke a record against Senegal held by Lionel Messi himself (2006); assist and goal in the same game before the age of 20.

Jude, who has been watched by Liverpool for months, has reportedly said yes to playing at Anfield, and the way he linked up with Henderson on the pitch has the Red's fans excited, who believe that the Borussia Dortmund star will arrive on Merseyside in the January transfer window. The Englishman has even posted a series of pictures with the captain that speaks volumes.

Bellingham, through his personal account, asks for respect and recognition for Henderson who upon his arrival in Qatar has been singled out for his age and the level at which he arrived. It is a fact that Jude will be moving clubs next year, and it seems now more than ever, that Liverpool have the advantage over other elite clubs in the world, such as Real Madrid, Manchester City and recently Chelsea FC, the latter in the Premier League.
