Norway vs England Player Ratings & Match Stats: Andreas Schjelderup 7.6/10, Jude Bellingham 9.2/10
Jude Bellingham was England’s hero once again as Thomas Tuchel’s side booked their place in the World Cup semi-finals with a dramatic 2-1 win over Norway.
England fell behind in the 36th minute when Andreas Schjelderup gave Norway a shock lead, but Bellingham single-handedly hauled them level in first-half stoppage time, striking in the 45+2nd minute.
With extra time looming, the Real Madrid midfielder delivered the decisive moment, scoring again in the 93rd minute to complete a thrilling comeback and send England through. He pounced on a rebound after poor goalkeeping from Orjan Nyland, showing pure desire to follow through. Where would England be had Thomas Tuchel not selected Bellingham? He's been brilliant, with six vital goals for England so far this summer.
Job done in another tough match; England now face either Argentina or Switzerland in the semi-finals.
