Miami Gardens: Jude Bellingham scored in the third minute of extra time to lift England past Norway 2-1 and into the World Cup semi-finals for the first time since 2018.

Bellingham's goal was his second of the game. He also scored the equaliser late in the first half. The Real Madrid star is now tied with England teammate Harry Kane with six goals in the tournament, behind France's Kylian Mbappé and Argentina's Lionel Messi, who have eight each. Bellingham had also scored twice in England's round-of-16 win over co-host Mexico.

England, the 1966 World Cup champions, are now one win away from reaching the final. The Three Lions will face either Argentina or Switzerland, who were set to play later on Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri.

Andreas Schjelderup scored in the 36th minute for Norway, who reached the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time and captured attention with their "Viking row" celebration and the charisma of 6ft 5in striker Erling Haaland.

Haaland, who entered the match with seven goals in the tournament, was held scoreless for the first time at this World Cup. He was substituted for Jorgen Strand Larsen in the second half of extra time.

Norway nearly went ahead 2-1 in the 56th minute when Torbjørn Heggem put a rebound past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford after a corner kick. Following a video review, the goal was disallowed because of a foul by Haaland in the box. Haaland was also denied by Pickford with a point-blank header in the first half.



Schjelderup, making just his second start of the tournament, fired a shot that caromed off the right post and into the net to stun an England team that had dominated possession to that point. Bellingham's close-range equaliser before half-time drew a roar from the crowd, which included Mick Jagger and England great David Beckham.



Schjelderup, who set up both of Haaland's goals in Norway's round-of-16 win over Brazil, celebrated by stretching his arms wide and looking at the crowd as his teammates lifted him onto their shoulders.

Moments before Bellingham's equaliser, a Norway goal kick resulted in the ball appearing to make contact with an aerial camera cable before landing at the feet of England's Elliot Anderson. The ball was eventually played to Bellingham, who beat Ørjan Nyland with a low shot to the far post. Play continued despite the incident.

There was a brief moment of silence before the match in honour of Jayden Adams, the 25-year-old midfielder for South Africa whose death was announced earlier on Saturday.
