Jude Bellingham sets new England record for most goals in one World Cup
English midfielder Jude Bellingham has made history as the first player from his country to tally seven goals during a single men's FIFA World Cup tournament. He achieved this milestone by scoring during stoppage time in the third-place playoff match against France. The 23-year-old moved past the former record of six goals, which was originally established by Gary Lineker in 1986 and later equaled by Harry Kane in both 2018 and 2026.
