Footage of Jobe Bellingham’s commanding display for England Under-19s makes waves, with fans lauding him as ‘a copy and paste Jude’ and saying ‘it’s mad how similar they are’

• Jobe has impressed for Sunderland this season after joining from Birmingham

Fans have lauded Jobe Bellingham after the Sunderland midfielder put in a stunning performance for England U19 against Montenegro.

The Young Lions drew 0-0 in their opening European Championship qualifier at the DG Arena Lješkopolje in Podgorica on Wednesday, with Bellingham running the show from midfield.

With his older brother Jude lighting up European football and preparing for England’s friendly against Australia at Wembley on Friday, Jobe’s last few months have been perhaps a little more low-key.

He joined Sunderland from Birmingham in a £1.5million move and has been a key player in the Black Cats’ positive start to the season, with the club currently sat fourth in the Championship.

And now he has received plaudits for his international showings too, with the 18-year-old, who is nearly two years younger than Jude, tipped for a bright future.
