7M - Norway 1-2 England: BELLINGHAM BRACE SPARES ENGLAND - Heroic Midfielder Fires Three Lions Past Norway into World Cup Semi-Finals

MIAMI, FL — Jude Bellingham proved to be England's savior once again on Saturday night, scoring twice—including a decisive extra-time winner—to spearhead a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Norway and propel the Three Lions into the 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-finals.

Under the sweltering lights of Miami Stadium, underdog Norway shocked Thomas Tuchel’s side in the 36th minute when young winger Andreas Schjelderup latched onto Martin Ødegaard's precise pass and fired past Jordan Pickford. However, England seized momentum just before the halftime whistle as Bellingham's powerful driving run ended with a clinical finish to restore parity.

The high-octane contest hung in the balance throughout a fiery second half. Norway thought they had reclaimed the lead near the hour mark through Torbjørn Heggem, only for a VAR review to annul the strike due to a foul by Erling Haaland in the buildup. Brentford defender Kristoffer Ajer also rattled the crossbar as Norway pushed the European heavyweights to the brink.

With the quarter-final pushed into extra time, Bellingham delivered the knockout blow in the 93rd minute. After Norway custodian Ørjan Nyland spilt a stinging drive from substitute Morgan Rogers, the Real Madrid superstar reacted quickest inside the six-yard box to tap home his sixth goal of the tournament.

The victory sees England advance to their fourth-ever World Cup semi-final, set to take place at Atlanta Stadium on July 15 against either Argentina or Switzerland, while ending Norway's historic and inspirational run in North America.
