Bellingham, 21, netted in Real Madrid's 4-0 win over Osasuna, with his first-half strike seeing him lob the goalkeeper to make it 2-0.
The midfielder had already assisted Vinicius Jr. before the Brazilian went on to score a hat-trick.
The emphatic win ended a nightmare week for the Spanish giants on a high following the humiliating 4-0 defeat to Barcelona during El Clasico and 3-1 defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League.
Bellingham had reacted angrily by kicking a water bottle when he was substituted in the 74th minute of the latter.
But after getting his goalscoring tally for the season underway, Bellingham posted a defiant message on Instagram, slipping in some X-rated language in the process.
The former Borussia Dortmund and Birmingham star said: "Even in s*** times, giving up is not an option.
"Madridistas, thank you for your incredible support in the good moments and the bad ones."
While Bellingham has taken 14 games to get up and running this season, by contrast he scored 23 goals in his debut season.
His goalless period has coincided with the arrival of superstar Kylian Mbappe.
Speaking on CBS Sports, Thierry Henry explained how he thought Bellingham was doing too much trying to support frontman Vinicius and Mbappe.
Henry said: "It's always Bellingham trying to make the run, trying to make the team play, running in behind, trying to break the line.
"I think there is a little frustration. Your nine isn't going, and your 10 is going. I know it can happen sometimes, but not all the time. Every single time.
"I know he (Mbappe) is not a [natural] number nine and that this maybe is not what he likes to do.
"Do you think he (Bellingham) likes to make those runs, try and stretch the team? He'll do it because he has to do it, because his desire speaks, his will speaks.
"You don't win games like that. You don't win games with your 10 breaking the line, coming back, trying to bend his run, trying to defend, trying to go the other side."
On his angry reaction to his substitution, he added: "I would have been upset too. I saw him kicking a bottle. I would be upset also, of course."
His return to goalscoring ways on the pitch comes after Bellingham seemed to drop a hint about his relationship status off of it.
Bellingham was seen liking Instagram posts of model Laura Celia Valk.
The Sun exclusively revealed in April that the pair had begun dating.
In the summer, Bellingham faced claims that the relationship was a "publicity stunt" - with the pair having not been seen together in public.
But the midfielder does follow Laura on Instagram.
Earlier this week, Laura posted a photodump, which included a snap of herself in a pink corseted dress.
Spotting Bellingham's like, one fan commented: "Hey Jude Bellingham."
While a second added: "Jude liked it".
