World Cup: Hero's moment! Bellingham's stoppage-time goal ties England after Norway scores first

Jude Bellingham emerged as England's hero in the 2026 World Cup quarterfinal against Norway, netting a vital equalizer in first-half stoppage time. His goal leveled the score at 1-1, rescuing England after they conceded first.

Norway had seized the lead in the 36th minute. A mistake by England allowed Andreas Schjelderup, playing for Benfica, to score after his shot deflected off the post. Erling Haaland had an earlier chance in the 35th minute, but his attempt was saved by England's goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Despite conceding, England dominated possession in the first half with 69% control and managed two shots on target from four attempts. Norway, meanwhile, had 25% possession and three shots on target from five attempts. The match remained tightly contested as both teams entered the second half seeking an advantage.

Bellingham's goal marked his fifth of the tournament, highlighting his consistent impact in crucial moments. The equalizer came after a skillful play down the left flank by Anthony Gordon, who provided the assist. Harry Kane also had a goal disallowed for offside shortly after Bellingham's strike.
