<p><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/bellingham-strikes-on-arrival-as-real-madrid-beat-athletic-bilbao-23303480" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Jude Bellingham</strong></a> stole the show with a goal and assist as England extended their 24-year unbeaten run against Scotland in a 3-1 friendly win to mark the 150th anniversary of the first meeting between the nations.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Phil Foden and Harry Kane were also on target as the Three Lions tamed the roar of Hampden Park and Scotland&rsquo;s five-game winning streak on Tuesday.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The hosts had high hopes of a famous victory in football&rsquo;s oldest international fixture after impressive wins over Spain and Erling Haaland&rsquo;s Norway in recent months to close in on qualifying for Euro 2024. But Scotland suffered a sobering evening as England proved a class apart.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>&lsquo;Enjoying more freedom&rsquo;</h2>
<p>Bellingham was the pick of Gareth Southgate&rsquo;s stars as the Real Madrid midfielder revelled in the No. 10 role he has shone in for the Spanish giants in the early weeks of the season. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s just a freedom role really,&rdquo; said Bellingham. &ldquo;I know it depends on the system we play and we&rsquo;ve got so many amazing players to accommodate. The team comes first always. I really enjoyed playing in that position today.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Southgate hailed the 116th clash between the sides as the renewal of a &ldquo;great sporting rivalry&rdquo; on the eve of the game.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, the ugly side of the animosity between the two sets of supporters was on show even before a ball was kicked.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Fans play spoilsport&nbsp;</h2>
<p>After the English national anthem was drowned out by a chorus of booing, a minute&rsquo;s silence for former Scotland manager Craig Brown was disrupted by the away fans.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once the action got underway Scotland were second best, even if it took England over half an hour to make their dominance show in the scoreline.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&rdquo;We knew playing against England was going to be difficult but if you want to learn as a team, you have to play against the best teams,&rdquo; said Scotland boss Steve Clarke.</p>
