Jude Bellingham’s brilliant brace fired England into the FIFA World Cup semi-finals as Thomas Tuchel’s side overcame Norway by 2-1 after extra time here at Miami Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England had to come from behind after Andreas Schjelderup’s cross-shot gave Norway, who were playing in their first World Cup quarter-final after last-16 runs in 1938 and 1998 and a group-stage exit at USA 1994, a 36th-minute lead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bellingham equalised in first-half added time and followed up with the winner three minutes into extra time, reacting quickest when Morgan Rogers’ shot was spilled by Orjan Nyland.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England now look forward to England’s fourth appearance at the FIFA World Cup semi-final, with either Argentina or Switzerland lying in wait in Atlanta.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After a tentative start at Miami Stadium, Norway seized the initiative. Erling Haaland's header straight at Jordan Pickford was a warning England didn't heed, as Schjelderup swept a cross-shot in off the inside of the far post to give the Nordics a 36th-minute lead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England weathered a wave of pressure before levelling in first-half stoppage time through Bellingham's driving run and cool finish. Harry Kane had the ball in the net moments later, but the goal was ruled out for offside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Torbjorn Heggem thought he had restored Norway's lead just before the hour mark, only for VAR to intervene and chalk off the effort for Haaland's push on Elliot Anderson following a corner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
