A starting centre-back for Premier League strugglers Southampton, Harwood-Bellis has been relatively helpless as Southampton found themselves on the end of nine defeats in their first eleven league games of the season.
However, his determination and general ability across the board has not gone unnoticed by England interim coach Lee Carsley, and resulted in his first ever England call up for the international break.
Failing to take to the pitch in England's 3-0 win over Greece, the centre-back was finally given his Wembley moment with half an hour left against Ireland, with England already 3-0 up. West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen made it four with 15 minutes left, and just three minutes later, Harwood-Bellis netted what will likely be the most memorable goal of his life.
The goal hammered home a chastening result for Ireland, and Keane may have still been stinging from the score line, as his punchy one liner in the studio rode the line between funny and harsh perfectly.
