Jude Bellingham reacts as Jobe makes Black Country return at West Brom
Jobe Bellingham was able to make his return to the Black Country while his big brother was dazzling at Wembley.
It was another impressive night for the Bellingham brothers on Monday (24 March) with Jude Bellingham starting under Thomas Tuchel in an England World Cup qualifier.
The Three Lions comfortably defeated Latvia 3-0 after goals from Reece James, Harry Kane, and Eberechi Eze as Tuchel’s undefeated start to his time in the role was extended to two games.
However, the Real Madrid star wasn’t the only member of the Bellingham family who was representing their country, as Jobe Bellingham was also in action.

The game against Portugal’s Under-21s team took place at the Hawthorns, with the Stourbridge-born star being able to enjoy a homecoming moment for England.

West Brom fans are worrying about ticket prices
West Brom were able to earn some money from hosting the England Under-21s game, but Baggies fans are currently worrying about buying tickets for their own team.
The Championship side are currently gearing up for the climactic run-in as they attempt to secure a playoff spot, but fans might not be able to afford the ‘crazy’ prices that Coventry City are charging for their upcoming away game.
The Sky Blues are charging £37 for tickets which led to the Baggies requesting a reduction, but Coventry denied it.
