How England rated vs Serbia… as Bellingham shines but TWO big names get 5s
JUDE BELLINGHAM was England’s head boy as Gareth Southgate’s side made a winning start in Germany.
The Real Madrid superstar oozed class throughout and broke the deadlock with only 13 minutes played thanks to an excellent header, dispatching Bukayo Saka’s deflected cross.
But, despite the brilliant start, it was a nervy affair here in Gelsenkirchen.
Serbia exerted significant pressure in the second half, with a few narrow escapes for Southgate’s men.
Harry Kane barely had a kick and the Premier League’s player of the year Phil Foden struggled to have any influence on the left of the Three Lions’ front three.
Here’s how SunSport’s Tom Barclay rated England’s stars… with TWO stars getting just a 5.
Tolami’s man started on the right wing for Gareth Southgate’s side and bagged the assist for Jude Bellingham’s header before leaving the pitch in the 75th minute.
It was a fine display from Saka, 22, after his recent injury and title heartbreak with Arsenal.
And he was no doubt inspired to another top performance by Tolami’s show of support.
As Saka weaved his way through Serbia’s defence, 23-year-old Tolami wore a white jacket bearing the number 87 on the collar.
It’s the number Saka used to wear during his early days at Arsenal.
And it is a constant reminder to the star of how hard he’s worked to become a key man for club and country.
Fans were loving Tolami’s show of support, with one saying: “She’s beautiful.”
Another declared: “Saka is so undisputed.”
One noted: “Big respect.”
Another added: “Star boy.”

Saka and Tolami reportedly started dating in late 2020 but kept their relationship relatively secret until 2022.
The pair hardly ever share pictures of themselves together and do not even follow each other on social media.
Indeed, neither are yet to actually confirm the relationship, with fans putting two and two together after Saka and Tolami shared individual photos of themselves on a yacht in Dubai.
But Tolami is a regular face at the Emirates and is often seen alongside the partner’s of Saka’s teammates Leandro Trossard, Martin Odegaard and Ben White.
Before the start of the Euros, it was revealed that Tolami was the 10th richest Wag in the England squad.
She has nearly 50,000 followers on social media platform Instagram.
And Tolami banks a tasty £581 from each of her posts there.
She is sure to continue bringing the great vibes to Euro 2024, with Saka set to remain an important part of Southgate’s XI throughout the tournament.
