Pundits and fans reacted with surprise to Jude Bellingham’s spectacular bicycle kick that sent England’s match against Slovakia into extra time.
Gareth Southgate’s side completed a dramatic comeback in Germany to progress to the next round of the European Championship after beating Slovakia 2-1.
After going behind after just 25 minutes, the Three Lions looked nervous in their attacking play as they tried to push the ball forward into their opponents’ final third but managed to control a few pointless balls in the box.
That was until the 95th minute of overtime when Marc Guehi threw Bellingham long and then produced the goal of the tournament with a spectacular bicycle kick.
As expected, the reaction of experts and fans to the goal was electrifying as many took to social media to be surprised by this Real Madrid star.
OMFG! That’s why he’s a star. Uuuuuuuude.
