After the goal, Henderson ran over to the 19-year-old to celebrate, initially pointing to him and then pressing their foreheads together.
Bellingham seemed to be a bit unsure at first as the 32-year-old appeared to be putting a bit more effort into the press.
However, after a hilariously drawn-out rubing of heads, he went on to help England seal their quarter-final match against France.

"So I kind of just had to turn the core on a bit, lean forward and get into a bit of more of a comfortable position.
