I mean, that was a blatant basketball move by the Belgian defender being challenged by Ollie so surely they'd had pulled that back for a VAR check pen if Bellingham hadn't had scored?

Wouldn’t have been a goal if Watkins hadn’t persisted with that. Probably won’t get mentioned though and it will all be about Bellingham.

Commentator "brilliant from Maddison" ignoring Watkins big effort to keep it alive, what's this guy on 

He's been woeful all game.

There was a penalty appeal by Foden earlier and the main commentator said something like "they're doing a check for a penalty" with (apparently Rob Green) then going for "yeah, it's another one of those where... it's a hard, long... slide... yeah".  I have no idea what he was trying to get at.

Idiot commentator earlier on said Toney gets the nod because he's powerful and brings something different.

Watkins brushes away the defender with a brilliant header back to essentially set up the goal from nothing, his contribution not even mentioned. 

Something different (for England) is EXACTLY what Watkins brings. He's the definition. Constantly harassing defenders, causing a nuisance all along the back line.

BBC live text says all credit to Maddison for the cross

Yeah I noted that. Thick as mince plastic pundits.
