Bellingham's England-saving masterpiece is among the top 5 greatest goals in Three Lions history.

TPO - The England team was saved from the abyss by Jude Bellingham's "bicycle kick". In terms of aesthetics as well as importance, this goal deserves a place in the list of the greatest goals in the history of the Three Lions in major tournaments.

It was the 90+5 minute and England were seconds away from a ticket home. In a near-desperate effort, defender Kyle Walker took a powerful throw-in into the penalty area. If it had been 90 minutes earlier, the ball would have been easily cleared by the Slovakian defender. However, Francesco Calzona’s players seemed to be tired. They couldn’t reach it and center-back Marc Guehi took over the space, heading the ball back inside.

Jude Bellingham was there waiting. In a very difficult position, the superstar instincts kicked in and the 2023/24 Champions League winner immediately jumped into the air.

A bicycle kick masterpiece was created at Arena AufSchalke. The ball from Bellingham's feet was directed to the bottom right corner of the goal, going into the net to the stunned Slovakian players.

Bellingham's stunning goal rescued England.

This goal immediately became one of the most important goals in the history of the Three Lions.

Then, as we know, Harry Kane's goal in the first minute of extra time helped England make a spectacular comeback, overcoming Slovakia and registering in the quarter-finals, where they will face Switzerland.

Of course, the credit goes to Bellingham for his goal that saved England. According to Telegraph experts and readers' votes on Sunday night, the 21-year-old's masterpiece has gone straight into the top 5 greatest goals in the history of the England team in major tournaments (World Cup/EURO).

It even surpassed David Platt's volley against Belgium in the 1990 World Cup and Bobby Charlton's cannon shot against Mexico in the 1966 World Cup to take third place. The two best goals were Michael Owen's solo goal in the 1998 World Cup against Argentina and Paul Gascoigne's impromptu goal against Scotland in the 1996 EURO.
