A fourth win in four matches was achieved as Birmingham City beat Barnsley 1-0. It also extends the Blues’ unbeaten run to nine in a row.
And while it was Scott Hogan who scored the game-winning goal, Jude Bellingham was one of the main talking points after the win was achieved. Bellingham achieved an 8/10 rating from WhoScored, making him their Man of the Match. He also recorded himself an assist, doing brilliantly well to keep the ball in play before crossing it in for Hogan.

Praise has to go to Bellingham there also, determination and the engine in him to keep that ball in was immense, especially for a 16 year old. Hogan, clinical again. Up the Blues. #KRO https://t.co/Vd0itIMPZL

Will Bellingham leave Birmingham in the summer?
Yes
No
One fan even mentioned how much grief the 16-year-old gave Barnsley left-back Clarke Oduor. Oduor was substituted out of the game on the 27th-minute mark after failing to keep Bellingham quiet.
16 year old Jude Bellingham’s just terrorised a grown man off the pitch early Add another 0 on that kid’s value!#BCFC #KRO

What do we think?
The replies from these fans clearly show exactly how much the Birmingham City fans rate the young player. While Bellingham was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in January, these fans are obviously happy to see him stay with the Blues.
