England fan's bizarre reaction after learning Jude Bellingham had scored just as he left ground

England were just seconds away from being eliminated from Euro 2024 before Jude Bellingham rescued Gareth Southgate's side against Slovakia – but not all fans stayed to watch the incredible moment unfold.

England went into Sunday's game in Gelsenkirchen as strong favourites but once again failed to impress.

They fell behind to a shock goal from Slovakia's Ivan Schranz midway through the first half and were unable to find a route back into the match before the break.

The Three Lions continued to struggle after the interval and looked to be heading out of the tournament with a hugely disappointing performance.

But when all hoped seemed to be lost, Real Madrid superstar Bellingham produced a moment of magic – scoring with an overhead kick in the fifth minute of injury time to send the match to extra time.

England would go on to win thanks to a goal from captain Harry Kane early on in the additional period, with England now facing Switzerland in the quarter-finals of the competition.

But it would be Bellingham who claimed the headlines with his acrobatic effort.

Unfortunately, some England fans who attended the match at Schalke's Arena AufSchalke missed the key moment after deciding the leave early.

England's group stage clash with Serbia at the same venue saw fans held for up to four hours after the match due to travel problems, and many supporters left early against Slovakia to avoid a similar problem.

One such fan has now gone viral for his reaction to finding out Bellingham had scored after leaving the ground.

In a clip circulating on social media, Sky News reporter Rob Harris approached the supporter, who asked: "Have England scored?"

Harris informs him that Bellingham had snatched an equaliser, to which he replied: "Oh god."

He then remarkably turned around to reveal Bellingham's name on the back of his shirt.

Let this be a lesson to all football fans, never leave early.
