Shades of Keane and Gerrard in Bellingham display - Rooney

Wayne Rooney has compared Jude Bellingham's performance against Mexico to heroic Champions League displays from Steven Gerrard and Roy Keane. Bellingham scored twice in 98 seconds as England beat Mexico 3-2 despite finishing with 10 men, setting up a World Cup quarter-final tie with Norway. Rooney rated Bellingham's performance a '10 out of 10' given the 'pitfalls' surrounding the game. Rooney likened Bellingham's display to Gerrard's in the 2005 Champions League final and Keane's performance against Juventus in 1999, noting the timing of his goals, his desire, work rate, and hunger. The former England striker also praised Bellingham's defensive contribution, including a brilliant last-ditch tackle to deny Mexico a goal on the stroke of half-time.
