Jude Bellingham came off the bench to seal England's historic 6-4 victory over France in a thrilling bronze medal match at the Miami World Cup. The midfielder scored deep into stoppage time (90+8 minute), halting the "Roosters'" spectacular comeback and securing his country's best World Cup finish in 60 years.

With this goal, Bellingham officially registered his 7th goal of the tournament, becoming the English footballer with the most goals in a single World Cup or European Championship in the history of the "Three Lions."

The 23-year-old star's achievement shatters the previous national record of 6 goals in a major tournament. This record was jointly held by legend Gary Lineker for his performance at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, and by current team captain Harry Kane, who scored 6 goals both at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and again at the current 2026 tournament.
