Did Bellingham yell at Southgate?

According to ESPN football analyst, Mark Ogden, Bellingham became visibly frustrated as England vigorously pursued an equaliser. It eventually came from Cole Palmer, who entered the game in the 70th minute.

"I made a note at 38 minutes saying, 'Already it’s started: Kane can’t move,' and the Spanish defenders knew exactly how to handle him," Ogden explained.

"Jude Bellingham was getting frustrated. I don't know if it was visible on camera, but just before Kane was taken off, Bellingham lost it with Gareth Southgate on the sideline, as if to say, 'Change something, do something!' And then Kane was substituted."

Ogden's account was corroborated by a B/R Football report, which captured the 21-year-old Bellingham venting his frustration on a cooler at the sound of the final whistle.
