Noni Madueke has expressed his absolute bewilderment at anyone doubting Jude Bellingham, labelling the England superstar as a world-class talent after a stellar World Cup.

It hasn't always been pretty, but England have achieved their aim of winning their World Cup group to set up a favourable last-32 tie.
