'Bellingham plays like a man' - Hazard impressed by Dortmund prodigy's debut performance

New Borussia Dortmund talent Jude Bellingham has made an impression on team-mate Thorgan Hazard, with the Belgian admitting the teenager 'plays like a man'.

The 17-year-old became Dortmund's youngest scorer in their history with his goal on debut in the 5-0 DFB-Pokal victory over Duisburg on Monday.

Bellingham only joined the Black and Yellows in July - choosing them ahead of Manchester United - in a deal worth €25 million (£23m/$29m) to his former club Birmingham City.
