Jude Bellingham confronted the fourth official after England's controversial draw with Uruguay on Friday evening at Wembley Stadium. The 22-year-old, who was not in the matchday squad, was captured heading down to the touchline from behind the benches in order to question the fourth official about Uruguay's late penalty.

Following Thomas Tuchel's sarcastic gesture at full-time, the Real Madrid star spoke to Benjamin Brand for around 30 seconds with a very confused look on his face as decisions made in the clash were seemingly explained. Despite only playing 21 minutes, Ben White was the headline topic coming out of the clash, with his arrival onto the pitch booed.

The Arsenal defender then scored the opening goal before conceding a stoppage-time penalty that was converted by Federico Valverde. Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel was far from pleased at that decision along with several others and he made that clear during his post-match press conference.

He said: "I think it's a very soft penalty. Of course there is contact, but it's so obvious what the striker is trying to do.

"Maybe Ben is also a bit greedy in this moment, but to overturn a decision when the referee clearly, clearly made the signal with both hands that he saw it and it was not enough for him. Then to overturn it I was surprised VAR is in place because I thought it's not working, because the tackle on Phil Foden was not even checked, tackle against Noni [Madueke] not even checked.

"And then suddenly, this one was checked. OK, like I said, I don't think it's enough, but OK, it is what it is. I heard that our goal was a tough block before our goal. I haven't seen it, so, yeah, overall, that's what it is."

The Foden and Madueke comments refer to collisions that forced both players to be withdrawn. The latter was taken off after 38 minutes and was later spotted walking through the mixed zone wearing a knee brace.

As for Foden, he was on the receiving end of a firm challenge from Ronald Araujo, with the Manchester City star caught by his studs on the follow-through. No punishment was given out to the Barcelona star for his tackle but there was a yellow card shown to Manuel Ugarte late in the game.

The Manchester United midfielder then appeared to be brandished with another caution in the 81st minute. However, he was not sent off with it initially claimed that the fourth official rescinded the apparent second yellow.

It has since become clear, via Opta, that Jose Gimenez was actually the recipient of Ugarte's first caution which was why he was not given his marching orders when actually booked by Sven Jablonski in the 81st minute.
