Bellingham created a controversial scene during the game. Earlier, another media outlet, The Sun, was accused of mocking Bellingham's Slovak bench. Controversy that he sent a mocking gesture to the other person is said. Bellingham immediately settled the situation in the controversy directed at him. Through personal social media (social network service), 'It was a joke for close friends. I have nothing but respect for Slovakia' He also included a handshake emoji next to the post.
