Having scored a brace for Real Madrid that same day, Jude Bellingham responded to his brother Jobe’s stunning goal for Sunderland on Saturday.
Consequently, what happened?
Real Madrid and Sunderland both triumphed easily over Plymouth Argyle and Girona, with Jude and Jobe scoring goals, respectively. While Jude’s brace helped Los Blancos defeat championship rivals Girona 4-0, his younger brother’s goal in his team’s 3-1 victory was a thunderclap.
The England international posted a picture of his brother on his Instagram story with the message, “Good weekend,” following a successful Saturday night.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The former Borussia Dortmund player sustained an injury and had to be replaced in the 57th minute of play, despite scoring twice against Girona. The player is expected to miss at least three weeks of action due to a sprained ankle, as confirmed by the Spanish powerhouses on Sunday.
