England set to hand player new role as Jude Bellingham learns Euro 2024 ban fate
John Stones believes Jude Bellingham’s wonder-goal against Slovakia can be the catalyst for change for England.
Bellingham struck a 95th-minute equaliser in the last-16, before Harry Kane scored an extra-time winner.
Asked if Bellingham’s goal could be a turning point, Stones said: “Yeah, 100 per cent.
“I think it is a turning point as well for us, emotionally to do it in such a high-pressure moment part of the game, last few minutes.
“I believe it’s going to change a lot of things for us as a team going through those emotions we had.
“There’s a great picture of us celebrating that goal and all the bench are off, all of the staff in the stands are up off their seats. It just shows that unity, that togetherness as a team.
“When you’ve done these things you believe then even more that you can do better and when it gets tough you can always recap to these moments and know that we can do it again.”
