Jude Bellingham scored yet again for England, adding to the team's lead over Norway in their World Cup quarter-final tie. The Real Madrid midfielder now has a brace, propelling England to a 2-1 advantage after extra time. Bellingham's second goal of the evening showcased his impressive poacher's instincts, as he capitalized on a scoring opportunity.
Initially, Norway took the lead with an unconventional goal from Andreas Schjelderup, which was not intended to be a shot on goal. Despite this, England managed to equalize shortly before the end of the first half, thanks in part to Bellingham's efforts. However, neither team could find a decisive breakthrough in the 90 minutes, sending the match into extra time.
Bellingham's goal in extra time marked his seventh of the World Cup, solidifying his status as a key player for England. His impressive finishing skills, honed from his time at Birmingham City, have allowed him to consistently find the back of the net.
With Bellingham on fire, England is now edging closer to a place in the World Cup semi-finals. His contributions have been instrumental in the team's progress, and his ability to score from seemingly anywhere on the pitch has made him a nightmare for opposing defenders to deal with.
As England advances in the tournament, Bellingham's performances will undoubtedly continue to be a major factor in the team's success. If he can maintain this level of form, England will surely have a real chance of winning the World Cup for the first time since 1966. Additionally, Bellingham may even find himself in the running for the Golden Boot award, alongside other top contenders such as Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.
