Jude Bellingham was the star of the show, scoring twice to guide England to a dramatic 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway in their World Cup quarterfinal clash in Miami. The win secures England's spot in the semifinals, where they will face either Argentina or Switzerland.

Norway had taken the lead in the 36th minute through Andreas Schjelderup, who unleashed a powerful strike that went in off the far post. However, Bellingham equalized for England just before halftime, demonstrating his clinical finishing ability by firing past two defenders after receiving a pass from Anthony Gordon.

The match remained tied at 1-1 through regular time, forcing the game into extra time. Bellingham then struck again in the first half of extra time, pouncing on a rebound from a save by Norwegian goalkeeper Orjan Nyland to score the decisive goal.

Bellingham's brace puts him level with Harry Kane on six goals for the tournament. England will now prepare for their semifinal match, while Norway's World Cup journey concludes at the quarterfinal stage.
