Bellingham moves into England's top three all-time World Cup scorers

Jude Bellingham keeps rewriting the history books at the 2026 World Cup. The Real Madrid midfielder netted a brace in the quarterfinal against Norway, lifting him to third place on England’s all-time World Cup scoring list. The 23-year-old now has six goals in this tournament and one from the 2022 edition in Qatar, bringing his total to seven in final competitions. With that tally, Bellingham surpassed Geoff Hurst, the hat-trick hero of the 1966 final, who finished his career with five World Cup goals. Ahead of Bellingham remain only two men: Gary Lineker with ten and Harry Kane, England’s all-time World Cup record holder, on 14. Among current England players, Marcus Rashford (four goals) and Bukayo Saka (three) also sit inside the top five World Cup scorers for the Three Lions.
