England midfield star Jude Bellingham believes the team’s performance levels dropped a few notches in their FIFA World Cup Group L clash against a gritty Ghana side, which ended in a 0-0 draw on Tuesday after a high-flying 4-2 win over Croatia last week.

“It’s very frustrating. It feels like we’ve got second-game fever again. In most tournaments we’ve played in, it has been the same; a good win in the first game, and then a tougher second one,” said Bellingham.
