Jude Bellingham twice dragged England back from the brink as Thomas Tuchel’s side edged past a tenacious Norway to reach the FIFA World Cup semi-final, winning 2-1 after extra time at Miami Stadium.
The game was a quiet affair in the opening stages before Norway seized the initiative. Harry Kane had his pocket picked inside the England half and Schjelderup’s cross-shot from the left flew in off the post to give the Scandinavians the lead just before the hour of the first half.
Jordan Pickford, making a record-breaking 18th World Cup appearance for England, got down to his left to keep out Martin Odegaard‘s low effort as Norway threatened to extend their advantage.

Jude Bellingham had other ideas. The Real Madrid midfielder drew England level in first-half stoppage time, and the two sides remained locked at 1-1 through 90 minutes.
