MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Jude Bellingham scored in the third minute of extra time to lift England past Norway 2-1 and into the World Cup semifinals for the first time since 2018.
Bellingham’s goal was his second of the game — he also had an equalizer late in the first half.
The Real Madrid star is now tied with England teammate Harry Kane with six goals in this tournament, behind the eight of France’s Kylian Mbappé and Argentina’s Lionel Messi.
He scored twice in the round of 16 as England beat co-host Mexico.
England, winner of the 1966 World Cup and facing pressure to return to the title match, is now one win away from getting there.
The Three Lions will face either Argentina or Switzerland, who were set to play Saturday night in Kansas City, Missouri.
