England reached the World Cup semi-finals for only the third time after Jude Bellingham scored both goals in a 2-1 extra-time win over Norway in Miami. The 23-year-old midfielder cancelled out Andreas Schjelderup's freak opener with a driven finish in first-half stoppage time, then reacted quickest to Orjan Nyland's spill from Morgan Rogers' shot to force home the winner. The brace takes Bellingham to six goals at the tournament, level with Harry Kane and one behind Erling Haaland.

Norway felt aggrieved at Bellingham's equaliser, claiming Nyland's goal kick struck an overhead camera cable before the build-up, but FIFA confirmed the matchball sensor registered no contact. The humid Florida conditions sapped both sides, with Erling Haaland largely anonymous and Alexander Sorloth wasting a two-on-one chance to square for the Manchester City striker.

Thomas Tuchel's side survived a stern test after Jordan Pickford was beaten by Schjelderup's cross-shot that looped over him. England will face Argentina or Switzerland in the last four, having now come from behind in consecutive knockout ties. Bellingham's tournament-defining form masks lingering questions about England's defensive shape against elite opposition.
