Bellingham scored a goal and set up three more as England dominated the Nations League match. The 23-year-old midfielder has been the key player for England, contributing 13 goal involvements in his last 11 matches since the World Cup started. Keane, speaking on ITV after the match, was highly impressed with Bellingham's all-around skills, noting his work rate off the ball sets him apart from other players. He also highlighted Bellingham's exceptional possession play, saying his performance lifted the entire team. Keane described Croatia as a Gibraltar-type of team, emphasizing how England's comprehensive victory showcased the full potential of their squad, with Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Anthony Gordon, and Morgan Rogers also scoring.",
