Jude Bellingham investigation at Euro 2024 after alleged X-rated gesture in England win

England midfielder Jude Bellingham is being investigated by UEFA over a gesture he made after scoring a late equaliser against Slovakia.

The Real Madrid star and former Birmingham City youngster appeared to gesture toward the Slovakian bench after his overhead kick brought England level in the dying seconds of injury time in Gelsenkirchen.

UEFA released a statement on Monday which said: "A UEFA ethics and disciplinary inspector will conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding a potential violation of the basic rules of decent conduct by the English Football Association player, Jude Bellingham, having allegedly occurred in the scope of this match.

"Information on this matter will be made available in due course."

Bellingham posted on X about the gesture in the hours after the match, saying: "An inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game. Nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played tonight."
