On Tuesday night, Bellingham scored his first goal for Borussia Dortmund and set a new career high in the process.

The 19-year-old midfielder had been impressive in pre-season but few expected him to score on debut against FC Koln. However, he delivered with a stunning strike from outside the box, giving the home side the lead just before half-time.

It was a moment that will go down in the club's history books as Bellingham became the youngest player to score in Bundesliga since Bastian Schweinsteiger in 2007.

But it wasn't just his goal that made headlines - he also set a new career high in terms of minutes played, taking over from Marco Reus at left-back. The move was seen as a tactical masterstroke by manager Lucien Favre, who wanted to give Bellingham more game time after impressing during pre-season.

The teenager has always shown promise and is tipped to become one of the most talented players in German football. His performance against Koln could only increase the hype surrounding him and make him even more of a sought-after talent.

Overall, it was a fantastic start to the season for Bellingham and a reminder of the potential he possesses. He may still have a lot to learn but he already shows great promise and could be a star in the making for Borussia Dortmund.
