Jude Bellingham is on fire for England in the FIFA World Cup 2026. The 23-year-old midfielder has featured in all six matches of this year’s FIFA World Cup for England and has five goals to his name. He scored his fifth goal for the Three Lions in the first half of the ongoing quarterfinal match against Norway at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Saturday (Sunday IST).
By scoring five goals in the FIFA World Cup 2026, Bellingham has entered his name in the record books. The Real Madrid star, who wears the No. 10 jersey for England, is only the third English player after Gary Lineker and Harry Kane to score five or more goals in one edition of the FIFA World Cup.
Lineker scored six goals for England in the 1986 FIFA World Cup, while Kane has six goals to his name in the ongoing edition. The Bayern Munich forward also scored six goals for England in the 2018 edition of the FIFA World Cup.
