Bellingham's Brace Propels England Past Norway into World Cup Last Four

Jude Bellingham's decisive brace secured England's passage to the World Cup semi-finals, overcoming a resilient Norway side in extra time. The victory, however, left manager Thomas Tuchel critical of his team's overall performance.

England have booked their place in the World Cup semi-finals after a hard-fought victory over Norway. The match was ultimately decided by the brilliance of young star Jude Bellingham, who netted both of England's goals, including the crucial winner in extra time.

He expressed disappointment with aspects of his team's display, despite the crucial win secured by Bellingham's heroics.
