Fans have spotted the moment where Jude Bellingham 'ignored' Phil Foden during England's win over Serbia.

Bellingham scored the only goal of the game and won the Man of the Match award as England got off to a winning start.

The 20-year-old headed home Bukayo Saka's deflected cross 13 minutes in and many loved the way in which the Real Madrid sensation played with such personality and arrogance.

He operated behind Harry Kane, with Foden playing off the left for drifting inside into pockets.

The Manchester City midfielder came in for criticism for struggling to affect the game.

But some supporters leapt to his defence and claimed that there was one instance where Bellingham elected against finding the the 24-year-old.

In the 67th minute, Bellingham had the ball down the left flank and toyed with Ivan Ilic.

He decided to beat the Torino man more than once and after going down the left, ended up delivering a cross that was easily gathered by Predrag Rajkovic.

However, as many have pointed out on social media, Foden was on the edge of the box and screaming for the ball to be cut back.

He has produced stunning strikes from that type of range against the likes of Real Madrid, West Ham, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Everton.

And Bellingham not spotting him in the position caused a stir amongst plenty of fans who felt analysis on his performance was unfair.

One wrote: "What exactly was Foden called up to England for? That's my main question. If he can position himself and beg for the ball while being isolated like that and still not get it, what’s the point of calling him up?"

A second opined: "Jude was selfish on that spot."

Another said: "3 men are free just outside the box. Why so many twist and turn and then a horrible cross? It’s a team sport not an individual sport

A fourth commented: "This is why I refuse to believe Foden had a BAD GAME last night. This is just one of a hundred scenarios where he was available, but the players either didn't have the ability to find him or just didn't want to."

A fifth fumed: "Example of Jude doing too much. 95% brilliance but if you're looking for any improvement it's to know when to involve others in the game and to also play to their strengths."

Southgate, meanwhile was happy with Foden's contribution, stating that he "popped up really well in the pockets" and helped the team by "holding the ball" in key moments as they saw out the win.

England return to action on Thursday when they play Denmark in Frankfurt.
