Jude Bellingham created history by becoming the first England player to score 7 goals in a single FIFA World Cup. The midfielder reached the milestone with a stoppage-time goal in England's thrilling 6-4 victory over France in the 2026 World Cup third-place playoff in Miami. While Bukayo Saka grabbed headlines with a hat-trick, Bellingham's record-breaking strike sealed England's sixth goal and his place in the history books. The win secured England's first-ever World Cup bronze medal and their best tournament finish since lifting the World Cup title in 1966. (PC: The Indian Express)
