ENGLAND star Jude Bellingham has explained the celebration between himself and Jordan Henderson after the goal against Senegal.
The Liverpool midfielder scored the opening goal in England’s 3-0 win in the World Cup round of 16 after being set up by Bellingham.
After the goal, Henderson ran over to the 19-year-old to celebrate, initially pointing to him and then pressing their forwards together.
Bellinghamat first viewing looked a little unsure as the 32-year-old seemed to be putting a bit more effort into the press.
However, he was okay and helped England seal their quarter-final match against France.
When asked about the celebration, Bellingham said on the England Instagram page: “To be honest he got so, like, close and I was thinking, right, if this is what we are going to do we have to commit, don’t we?
“So I went and he went really hard you know, proper hard, like right there.
“And that’s why my back’s arched like that, because I am thinking like he’s proper hard here and he’s proper close.
“So I kind of just had to turn the core on a bit, lean forward and get into a bit of more of a comfortable position.
“But it was a good moment.
“Something that, you know, lives forever, them kind of celebrations and hopefully, people will be talking about it for a long time.”;
