England held to a 2-2 draw by BelgiumBellingham scores dramatic late equaliserMaddison only used sparingly by EnglandWHAT HAPPENED?
Maddison was used only sparingly by England boss Gareth Southgate over the international break. The Tottenham star did not feature against Brazil and only played the last 15 minutes against Belgium. However, he did make a vital contribution to the game, teeing up Bellingham to make it 2-2 in the 95th minute at Wembley Stadium. Maddison reacted after the draw on Instagram with a picture of the two players celebrating and included the caption: "Sheriff [A] Jude Bellingham. Great character at the death to salvage something at Wembley! Need to take that attitude into the summer."

Maddison looks set to be part of England's squad for Euro 2024 and he will be hoping his latest cameo can help convince Gareth Southgate he deserves a place in his starting XI at the tournament in Germany. Yet the Tottenham star faces serious competition for a place in the team with Bellingham and Declan Rice having already nailed down spots in midfield.
