FootballReal Madrid Fans Hail Bellingham After Scoring Debut Goal With Audacious Chip Over Andre Onana
- Real Madrid opened the scoring against Man United thanks to a chip by Jude Bellingham
- It was Bellingham's first goal in the royal white colours
- Fans of Los Blancos lauded the Englishman on social media
Real Madrid fans resorted to social media to hail new signing Jude Bellingham after he scored an audacious chip against Manchester United to mark his first goal for Los Blancos.
The 20-year-old netted his first-ever goal for his new team during their pre-season match against the Red Devils in Houston on Thursday.
The young Englishman slotted in the first of the night for Carlo Ancelotti's side after receiving a phenomenal over-the-top pass from Antonio Rudiger, gashing the United defence.
Bellingham did the rest by putting in a cheeky chip over Andre Onana for the early lead, per Madrid Zone.
It's the former Dortmund star's inaugural goal for the Spanish side following his £88m transfer.
It marked a dreadful few minutes for United, as their talented young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo had to exit the field due to an injury, as cited by the Sun.
