The Football Association has moved to clarify a bizarre controversy surrounding Jude Bellingham after doctored footage of his interaction with a mascot on Tuesday night went viral online.

Bellingham starred again for the Three Lions as his side drew 2-2 at Wembley against Belgium, scoring a late equaliser with what was the last kick of the game in England's final match of the international break.

The Real Madrid star stole the show ahead of kick-off, when he gave his jacket to a mascot in a wheelchair, who had accompanied him on the pitch and looked to be feeling the wrath of the rainy conditions.

Bellingham was praised for his kind gesture after it was picked up by the cameras. 

But a post on X, the social platform previously known as Twitter, shows reversed footage of the interaction, making it look as though Bellingham took the jacket away from the mascot.
