Furious Jude Bellingham loses his temper AGAIN as England star hounds assistant referee and boots a drinks cooler after controversial disallowed goal in Senegal defeat

Daily Mail​a day ago

Jude Bellingham was unable to contain his emotions after England 's 3-1 defeat by Senegal on Tuesday night, chasing down the fourth official before taking a swipe at a water cooler.
The Real Madrid star was still reeling from the decision to disallow his later equaliser for a contentious handball in the lead-up to his strike.
Bellingham, who had to be shepherded back onto the pitch by captain Harry Kane to applaud the England fans, booted a cooler after lashing a ball into the air after the final whistle.
It was a frustrating night all round for the World Cup hopefuls, just 366 days before the tournament in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Thomas Tuchel, appointed on an 18-month contract in January with the stated aiming on winning the competition, made ten changes to the side that earned a narrow win against minnows Andorra on Saturday.
The German had hoped to see a marked improvement in performance at the City Ground but instead suffered his first loss as England boss - the nation's first-ever defeat to an African side.
Kane's 73rd international goal in the seventh minute of the match got England off to the perfect start before goals from Ismalia Sarr and Habib Diarra just after the hour gave the visitors the lead their display merited.
The controversial call of the game came with just a few minutes of normal time to play when Bellingham thought he had grabbed a late equaliser. However, following a VAR review referee Stephanie Frappart was advised to take a second look at the incident.
She subsequently chalked off the effort even though replays showed that, despite the ball hitting Levi Colwill's arm, it was not intentional nor was he the scorer - conditions that would normally merit cancellation.
Kane slammed the decision which he was adamant was incorrect, while former England striker Ian Wright labelled the call 'pathetic'.
Tuchel was also seen confronting Frapport and her team of officials in the middle of the pitch at full-time.
Bellingham's distain for drinks coolers dates back to the final of the European Championship later summer, when he kicked out at the container after England's dramatic late defeat.
On that occasion after the contest, the midfielder stormed off the pitch and kicked the cooler in frustration and could be seen sat on the England bench looking towards the pitch, appearing to be in a very thoughtful mood.
Bellingham eventually returned to the pitch where he was consoled by England Kane and manager Gareth Southgate.
Tuesday's defeat raises some concerns over the direction of Tuchel's squad who has precious little time and even fewer quality opponents before next year's World Cup.
'We'll we're not going to panic but for sure, we know that we need to be better,' Kane told ITV post-match.
'There are some ideas that are new for the guys, we have new players coming into the team who don't have experience at the international level.
'It's a mixture of things but there are no excuses. We need to find it quickly, we're not going to meet again for a few months but the World Cup is going to come around very fast so every camp is really important right now.'

Belgian club Leuven dismiss former Wales manager Coleman

June 12 (Reuters) - Former Wales manager Chris Coleman has been fired by OH Leuven six months after joining them, the Belgian club said. The former Wales defender was appointed in December by Leuven, whose owners also control Leicester City, and he led them to an 11th-place finish, enough to qualify for playoffs for a potential spot in European club competition next season. "In those playoffs, the performances remained below expectations. That is why the club is now opting for change with a view to next season and is ending the collaboration with Coleman," Leuven said in a statement. Coleman, 55, took Wales to the European Championship semi-finals in 2016. He also managed English clubs Fulham, Sunderland and Coventry City, and Spain's Real Sociedad.

Reid 30 years on: 'I had to find £700 from somewhere'

Former Sunderland manager Peter Reid - who twice won the Black Cats promotion into the Premier League - has been looking back on taking charge of the club 30 years ex-Everton and Manchester City player took the reigns in March 1995 with Sunderland battling relegation in the second tier, but with seven games of the season remaining, Reid oversaw just the one loss and managed to keep them to BBC Radio Newcastle in a special episode, Reid recalled: "They were great games, the Sheffield United one was a very important one and I always thank Craig [Russell] for coming on as a sub and getting the winner," Reid said."To be fair, the crowd played their part and obviously the players, the players were magnificent. I think we went to Derby and beat them as well which was a fantastic result."After the Sheffield United game, I remember going to the chairman and saying 'listen I need to get something for the players so give me £500 to take them out' and the bill came to about £1200 so I had to find £700 from somewhere."So I was fining the lads for mis-passing the ball in training and everything and once I got the £700 I told them 'it's over now lads' and I told them the story and they took it all in the spirit that it was meant."
