Red Devils have almost tamed Three Lions before Jude said ‘no way’! A fantastic friendly between the two super-strong national sides at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday night ends in a deserved 2-2 draw. Belgium were seconds away from a massive away victory over Gareth Southgate’s England, but Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham netted in the stoppage time to save the hosts from defeat.Belgium were flying high in the first half on the wings of incredible Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans. He scored a brace, but Romelu Lukaku had the sensational assist for the second goal that will be remembered vividly.England 1 Belgium 2. Youri Tielemans again. Poor from Lewis Dunk to lose possession to Romelu Lukaku, but it’s then a superb cross allowing Tielemans to finish with a diving header.🇧🇪 pic.twitter.com/LAfN0SwiEl— Ben Jacobs (@JacobsBen) March 26, 2024 But let’s start from the beginning…Straight from the kick-off we got ourselves a true candy with three goals in the opening 45 minutes. Tielemans opened the scoring as England keeper Pickford tried to play a cross-field pass, but it fell straight to Amadou Onana, who quickly released Tielemans for the 1-0 lead.The Three Lions responded shortly, with Ivan Toney netting from the spot for the first time in his maiden start for the national side.England even went 2-1 up for a few moments, as Jarrod Bowen celebrated his first international goal, too, before it was rightfuly voided due to offside.##NAJAVA_MECA_7984412##Jude Bellingham was also so close to finding the back of the net a few minutes later, but the former Borrusia Dortmund attacking midfielder fired over the bar from close range.And just when England were playing well, they conceded again, once more from a mistake and against the run of play.Tielemans launched a long pass to Lukaku on the counter, and England’s defender Lewis Dunk made a poor clearance, providing Lukaku with an advantage. The ex-Chelsea and Manchester United man produced a brilliant cross with the outside of the boot across the face of goal and Tielemans converted it with a diving header for his second of the night.The intensity and chances were seen after the break on both ends, but it was not until the stoppage time that we saw another in the back of the net.#Bellingham with a late goal to salvage the draw for @England in friendly against @RoyalBelgianFA after #Tielemans put visitors 2 -1 up with a braceBrilliant images by @paulhc64 pic.twitter.com/xZCZI5kRf7— Focus Images Ltd (@FocusImagesLtd) March 26, 2024 Who else than Bellingham decided it was about time to step up and save his side from an unexpected home defeat with a last-gasp equalizer for a deserved draw.INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLYEngland – Belgium 2-2 (1-2)/Toney 17 pen, Bellingham 90+5 – Tielemans 11,36/
