Overview
- England beat Norway 2-1 after extra time on Saturday with Jude Bellingham scoring both goals to send his side into the last four.
- Bellingham’s brace took his tournament tally to six goals and continued his run of decisive knockout performances for England.
- Manager Thomas Tuchel publicly criticised the team’s display as sloppy and error-prone after the match, while Bellingham defended his teammates in a brief on-field exchange.
- Declan Rice was withdrawn at half-time because he was visibly struggling after playing with a knock and illness, leaving his availability for the Argentina game uncertain.
- Norway had a second-half goal ruled out after VAR and referee Clement Turpin judged Erling Haaland pushed an opponent, a decision that drew social-media criticism from Alf-Inge Haaland and rebuttal from pundits as England’s defence largely contained Haaland.
