Jude Bellingham was seen relaxing with his family after England's win over Serbia on Sunday

  • England beat Serbia 1-0 in their opening game at Euro 2024 on Sunday evening 
  • Jude Bellingham put in a player of the match display and scored England’s goal
  • LISTEN to It’s All Kicking Off! Were England good in their opener or is the criticism fair?

Jude Bellingham was seen relaxing with his family after England’s victory over Serbia on Sunday.

The Three Lions edged out Dragan Stojkovic’s side 1-0 in their first game of Euro 2024 in Gelsenkirchen, with Bellingham scoring the decisive goal after just 13 minutes.

It came as part of a stunning display from the Real Madrid star, who was England’s best player in an otherwise uninspiring performance from Gareth Southgate’s side as they struggled through the second half.

And, following the clash – which saw England take control of Group C – Bellingham took time to unwind with his family who were in attendance to cheer him on at the Veltins-Arena.

The midfielder was pictured kicking back and enjoying a laugh with brother Jobe, father Mark and mother Denise up in the stands.

Jobe had been spotted next to Denise during the game, with the Sunderland star, 18, making headlines in recent times. 

After an impressive campaign, the midfielder has been linked with a move away from the Stadium of Light this summer, with Crystal Palace, Tottenham and Brentford all credited with an interest. 

In one photo, he was seen sharing a laugh with Jude and Mark, a former Non League striker himself, as they stayed in the stadium to catch up after England’s opening victory in Germany.

Meanwhile, speaking after his match-winning performance, Bellingham expressed his delight at the Three Lions’ start to the tournament.

‘I really enjoy playing in front of the England fans,’ he said. ‘I think it’s a different experience for me because I play abroad so when I hear the English crowd every few months I really enjoy it, I feel the love and I try to give that back on the pitch.

‘It’s really special to score any time for England, especially a match-winning goal and a goal that gives us points and can contribute to us hopefully having a good tournament.’

On his star man’s brilliant display, head coach Gareth Southgate said: ‘He writes his own script. The timing of his runs. It was a super bit of play in the build-up of his play. I think all of our forward players looked really good.’

On England’s overall performance, Southgate added: ‘I am confident we will score goals. Playing against a back five it is not easy to create chances and we did.

‘I liked the fact we had to suffer without the ball because that is an area we have worked on a lot this week. We were obviously much better than last week at doing that.’

England’s victory put them straight to the top of Group C after Denmark and Slovenia drew 1-1 earlier on Sunday.

The Three Lions return to action on Thursday when they take on the Danes, before Southgate’s side face Slovenia the following Tuesday.
