Jude Bellingham continued his monster World Cup for England as his second goal in Saturday's quarterfinal over Norway was the difference during a 2-1 win.
The teams could not decide a winner after 90 minutes. Extra time was needed and three minutes in Bellingham pounced on a rebound created off a Morgan Rogers' shot to put the Three Lions ahead.
Three of Bellingham’s goals have given England leads for good. His six goals in the tournament puts him with Gary Lineker (1986) and Harry Kane (2018, 2026) as the only England players to score at least five goals in a single men’s World Cup.
Following the first-half hydration break, the match was looking promising for Norway. Instead of continuing to sit back and allow England to devise ways to break down their back line, they pressed more, putting their opponents on the back foot.
The attacking mindset paid off in the 36th minute when Andreas Schjelderup, who replaced Antonio Nusa in the starting lineup, sent a wonderful strike from the left side of the England box over Jordan Pickford for the opening goal.
