Jude Bellingham said his "wolf" celebration with Trent Alexander-Arnold after scoring in England's 1-0 win over Serbia to kick off their Euro 2024 campaign was a nod to the backroom staff.

The 20-year-old powered a header into the top corner on 13 minutes from Bukayo Saka's deflected cross before bowing on one knee alongside Liverpool's Alexander-Arnold as they both covered their faces with one hand. "The celebration was from a game we play called ‘Wolf' and one of the staff always holds his face like that when he doesn't know what's going on," said Bellingham.

"So it was more a celebration for the backroom staff who put in so much work every day and they won't receive any awards like this [man-of-the-match trophy]," he added.
