Bellingham double guides England to World Cup semis in extra-time win over Norway

Jude Bellingham was the star of the show as England booked their place in the World Cup semifinals with a hard-fought 2-1 extra-time win over Norway. The quarter-final clash in Miami Stadium on Saturday saw Norway take an early lead through Andreas Schjelderup.

Bellingham, however, came to England's rescue, equalizing just before halftime. The game was forced into an additional 30 minutes due to the 1-1 scoreline after regular time. In the first half of extra time, Bellingham scored the decisive goal, pouncing on a rebound after a save to secure England's victory and keep their hopes of winning a major tournament for the first time in 60 years alive.

The Real Madrid midfielder is now level with Harry Kane on six goals for the tournament. England will play the winner of the Argentina versus Switzerland match in the semifinals. A VAR review played a role in the match, with Torbjorn Heggem's potential go-ahead goal for Norway being disallowed after Erling Haaland was penalized for a foul.
