England 2-1 Norway: Key stats
Jude Bellingham starred once again, scoring twice as England came from behind to defeat Norway 2-1 after extra time on Sunday, ending Norway's historic run and booking a place in the World Cup semi-finals.
Key Stats:
England reached their fourth FIFA World Cup semi-final and their first since 2018, when they lost 2-1 to Croatia after extra time.
Jude Bellingham became the first England player to score two or more goals in multiple World Cup knockout matches at a single tournament.
Bellingham took his tally to seven World Cup goals before the age of 24. Only Kylian Mbappe, with 12, had scored more at that age, while Bellingham drew level with Pele on seven.
His match-winning goal also drew him level with Gary Lineker for the most non-penalty goals scored by an England player at a single major tournament—a remarkable feat for a midfielder.
Erling Haaland managed 21 touches and two shots, with one on target, across 105 minutes. He had been aiming to become the first European player since Gerd Müller in 1970 to score in each of his first five World Cup appearances.
Haaland's run of scoring in 14 consecutive competitive matches for Norway came to an end.
England progressed from a major tournament knockout match that went to extra time for the fourth time in their last six such matches at the FIFA World Cup or UEFA European Championship.
Having failed to win a World Cup knockout game after conceding first since the final of 1966 before this tournament, England have now done so twice in three matches.
