Jude Bellingham inspires England comeback as Three Lions reach World Cup semi-final

  • England beat Norway 2-1 in a tense World Cup quarter-final thanks to a brace from an inspired Jude Bellingham.
  • Norway initially went ahead in the 36th minute with a bizarre goal from Andreas Schjelderup, with Bellingham drawing the game level before half-time.
  • Norway had a goal disallowed at 1-1 after Torbjorn Heggem scored from a goalmouth scramble, but the referee agreed with VAR that Erling Haaland pushed and fouled Elliot Anderson before the corner kick was taken.
  • Jude Bellingham scored England's winner just three minutes into extra time, while England had a penalty decision overturned by VAR.
  • England advance to their second semi-final appearance in three World Cups and will play Argentina in Atlanta at 8pm BST (3pm ET) on 15 July; the World Cup final is set for 19 July at 8pm BST (3pm ET).
