Jude Bellingham produced a masterclass performance with a brace to send England into the World Cup semifinals with an exciting 2-1 victory over Norway in Miami.
Under trying circumstances, the Three Lions fought hard to stop the Scandinavian threat and maintain their ultimate ambition.
Though Bellingham immediately restored the scoreline right before halftime, Andreas Schjelderup stunned England in the first half with a spectacular strike.
Even as Norway’s Erling Haaland always threatened, England’s defense held strong and VAR significantly disallowed a late Norwegian goal.
Bellingham confirmed his heroics as the close quarterfinal match spilled over into extra time.
Norway’s Ørjan Nyland failed to make a proper save and the talismanic midfielder expertly slammed home the rebound.
The amazing personal performance helps the Real Madrid star to be the heartbeat of this England team. Having the crucial quarterfinal victory guaranteed, the Three Lions currently move on to meet Argentina in the semifinals.
