Jude Bellingham scored twice as England came from behind to beat Norway 2-1 after extra time and reach the World Cup semi-finals. The midfielder levelled just before half-time after Andreas Schjelderup had put Norway ahead, then pounced on a goalkeeping error early in extra time for his sixth goal of the tournament. Manager Thomas Tuchel admitted his side rode their luck and were sloppy, but England now face Argentina or Switzerland in the last four on Wednesday.
