Shades of Keane and Gerrard in Bellingham display – Rooney

Gerrard scored the first goal as Liverpool came from 3-0 down at half-time to beat AC Milan in Istanbul on penalties and lift the trophy while Keane also scored against Juventus as United overturned a 3-1 aggregate deficit in an inspired display despite knowing a yellow card had ruled him out of the final that year.

Former Three Lions striker Rooney likened Bellingham's performance to Gerrard's in helping Liverpool come from 3-0 down in the 2005 Champions League final against AC Milan, and to Keane's renowned display against Juventus, which inspired Manchester United to reach the 1999 European Cup final.

Rooney rated Bellingham's performance in the last-16 victory in Mexico's capital as a '10 out of 10' given the 'pitfalls' which surrounded the game.
