Bellingham rescues England again as Norway’s historic World Cup run ends
Jude Bellingham scored twice to lead England to a 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals. England will now advance to the semi-finals to face either Argentina or Switzerland.
Why it matters
The match marks a significant milestone for England's national team in their pursuit of a major tournament title after a 60-year drought.
MIAMI, July 12 — Jude Bellingham was England's hero once more by scoring twice as the Three Lions came from behind to end Norway's historic run and reach the World Cup semi-finals with a 2-1 win after extra-time yesterday.
In their first ever quarter-final, Andreas Schjelderup fired Norway into a shock lead in the searing Miami heat.
But Bellingham, who also netted a double in a memorable 3-2 over Mexico in the last 16, produced a moment of magic to equalise just before half-time.
Norway had a second goal controversially disallowed after a VAR review in the second half for a foul by Erling Haaland as both sets of players were pushed to their physical limits by going to extra-time.
Bellingham came up with another big moment as he pounced on an error by Orjan Nyland to sweep in his sixth goal of the tournament.
