MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. \u2014 Jude Bellingham locked arms with teammate Harry Kane as England fans belted out the Beatles\u2019 \u201cHey Jude.\u201d<\/p>

Bellingham certainly earned the serenade<\/a> .<\/p>\n

He scored twice on Saturday \u2014 an equalizer in the first half and the go-ahead goal in the third minute of extra time \u2014 to lift England past Norway 2-1 and into the World Cup<\/a> semifinals for the first time since 2018.<\/p>\n

The Real Madrid star has now matched Kane with six goals in this tournament, two behind France\u2019s Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 and Argentina\u2019s Lionel Messi and one shy of Norway\u2019s Erling Haaland<\/a> , who was held scoreless by England. Bellingham also scored twice in the round of 16 as England beat co-host Mexico<\/a> .<\/p>\n

England, winner of the 1966 World Cup and facing pressure to return to the title match, is now one win away from getting there. The Three Lions will face Argentina<\/a> in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game is split into loads of different facets. Some of it is technical, tactical,\u201d Bellingham said. \u201cFor me, the biggest one is psychological and how you can manage setbacks, how you can manage adversity. This team showed yet again that they can do it and that\u2019s a really valuable skill and trait to have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not everyone was thrilled with England\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe made life very, very difficult for ourselves today,\u201d coach Thomas Tuchel said<\/a> in a contentious interview with Fox Sports. \u201cThe result is fantastic. We\u2019re in the last four. It\u2019s amazing, but not happy with the performance … in every sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tuchel clarified in his news conference that he was \u201cproud and happy\u201d with how his squad has overcome adversity, but added, \u201cI\u2019m also a football coach and I also have demands. … I think we can play faster. I think we can play more clinical.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bellingham seemed to disagree with his coach\u2019s critique after England prevailed in the heat and humidity of South Florida, with temperatures<\/a> reaching 92 degrees Fahrenheit (33 Celsius) at the start of warmups.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, whatever,\u201d Bellingham said<\/a> , shaking his head. \u201cIt\u2019s difficult out there. It\u2019s a tough shift. My thoughts and appreciation goes to the players out there who put in a great shift.\u201d<\/p>

Andreas Schjelderup scored in the 36th minute for Norway, a squad that reached its first quarterfinals and took the internet by storm with its \u201cViking row\u201d<\/a> and the charisma of Haaland<\/a> , their fearsome 6-foot-5 striker.<\/p>\n

Haaland was kept off the scoresheet for the first time in this World Cup. The Manchester City star sat dejectedly on the bench after he was subbed out for Jorgen Strand Larsen in the second half of extra time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not a tough decision to take him out,\u201d Norway coach St\u00e5le Solbakken said. \u201cHe was finished. Maybe I should have taken him out 10 minutes before. … He also got a dead leg in the second half, so that combined with the fatigue. He did everything he could.\u201d<\/p>\n

Norway nearly went ahead 2-1 in the 56th minute when Torbj\u00f8rn Heggem put a rebound past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford after a corner kick. Following a video review, the goal was disallowed because of a foul by Haaland in the box. Haaland was also denied by Pickford on a point-blank header in the first half.<\/p>\n

Schjelderup, making just his second start of the tournament, fired a shot that caromed off the right post<\/a> and into the net to stun an England team that had dominated possession to that point. Bellingham\u2019s equalizer from close range<\/a> elicited a roar from that crowd that included Mick Jagger<\/a> and England great David Beckham.<\/p>\n

Schjelderup, who set up both of Haaland\u2019s<\/a> goals in Norway\u2019s round of 16 win<\/a> over Brazil, celebrated by stretching his arms wide and looking at the crowd as his teammates lifted him onto their shoulders. Meanwhile, Kane sat near midfield, grabbing his leg and looking toward the officials. No foul was called.<\/p>\n

Moments before Bellingham evened the score, a Norway goal kick resulted in the ball appearing to make contact<\/a> with an aerial camera cable before landing at the feet of England\u2019s Elliot Anderson. The ball was eventually played to Bellingham, who beat \u00d8rjan Nyland with a low shot to the far post. By rule, if the ball had been noticed hitting the cable, play would have stopped and a drop ball would have been utilized to determine possession. FIFA later said the sensor in the ball indicated it did not touch the cable.<\/p>\n

There was a brief moment of silence before the match in honor of Jayden Adams<\/a> , the 25-year-old midfielder for South Africa whose death was announced earlier Saturday.<\/p>
