Bellingham scores and assists three in England’s 7-0 win

England beat Croatia 7-0 in Rijeka on Saturday, with Jude Bellingham scoring once and assisting three goals in a performance that drew praise from teammates and former midfielder Roy Keane. The reports described the result as Croatia’s heaviest defeat. Bellingham set up Harry Kane’s opening goal, scored England’s second and later created goals for Bukayo Saka and Morgan Rogers. He wore the captain’s armband after Kane was substituted. The four goal involvements made Bellingham a central figure in England’s victory, though the match reports trace their accounts to shared coverage rather than independent official records. Keane said after the match that Bellingham could become one of the greatest players of all time. He praised the midfielder’s work both in possession and without the ball, saying his effort off the ball could lift his teammates. Keane’s forecast was conditional: he said avoiding injuries and maintaining focus would matter to Bellingham’s prospects. Saka, who scored twice, also praised Bellingham’s display and said he was happy to play alongside him for England. Their comments followed a match in which England’s attack scored seven times against Croatia.
