Borussia Dortmund youngster and 19 year old football talent, Jude Bellingham was in action in the keenly contested encounter as he was handed a role to play in his team’s starting XI line-up following his outstanding performance for the team in their last game.
Jude Bellingham was able to deliver yet again at the peak as he was clinical at the heart of the forward line where he was a complete threat in the opposition box with his impactful minutes spent on the pitch of play.
The first half of the game was such a balanced one between the two sides as there was nothing separating them going into the half time break which ended goalless draw before the tempo was changed in the second half.
The visitor in the second half took a double lead with a goal from Ilkay Gundogan and Kai Havertz in the 52nd and 67th minute respectively to make it two nil after which the host scored three straight goals courtesy of goals from Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Harry Kane in the 72nd, 75th and 83rd minute respectively to make it three goals to two.
However, the visitor after trailing from behind were able to get levelled in the 87th minute with an equalizer from Kai Havertz who got his brace of the night to end the game three all draw at full time, thereby making it no victor no vanquished.
After the game, England youngster and forward maestro Jude Bellingham was announced as the winner for the Man of the Match after beating the likes of Reece James, Luke Shaw and Harry Kane to the award which was a well deserved one.
He will then be hoping to keep his impressive run of form going for the Black and Yellow as they set to continue their pursuit in the current campaign after the international break.
