Decisive Bellingham goal earns England 2-1 extra-time win and World Cup semi-final spot

England secured a dramatic comeback victory over Norway to advance to the World Cup semi-finals, with Jude Bellingham proving decisive once again.

The match appeared headed for a halftime deficit until Bellingham equalized moments before the break, finishing calmly past goalkeeper Orjan Nyland after a powerful driving run.

Norway believed they had regained the lead early in the second half when Heggem converted from a corner, but video review ruled the goal out for a foul by Erling Haaland on Elliot Anderson in the buildup.

The decisive moment arrived late when Nyland spilled a shot from Morgan Rogers directly into Bellingham's path, allowing the midfielder to send his exhausted teammates into the tournament's final four.
