BBC cameras catch moment fan taunts Jude Bellingham with cheeky gesture during England’s clash against Switzerland
JUDE BELLINGHAM was on the receiving end of a trolling from a Switzerland fan in England's Euro 2024 clash with the Red Crosses.
Gareth Southgate's troops played markedly better in the first half of the quarter-final clash in Dusseldorf than they did against Slovakia last weekend.
Bellingham turned in a better display and got the better of several Swiss players in the opening 45 minutes.
And he drew the ire of one Switzerland fan when he brilliantly won a free kick from Newcastle defender Fabian Schar.
The furious fan mocked the Real Madrid Madrid man by pretending to bawl his eyes out.
The hilarious act spread like wildfire on social media and received a slew of comments.

Another chimed in: "Hopefully they're real tears at the end of the game."
Some footie fans, however, sympathised with the fan's trolling of Bellingham after the foul.
One wrote: "The Swiss fan is right."
Another said: "Dive! The Swiss player was just stronger."
And another said: "Never a foul."
Despite their first-half domination, The Three Lions failed to breach the Switzerland defence.
And worryingly for England fans, skipper and star forward Harry Kane only had NINE touches in the half.
England looked to be heading out when Breel Embolo fired the Swiss ahead in the 75th minute.
But Bukayo Saka levelled the scores a mere five minutes later with a stunning finish from outside the box.
