England have marched into the World Cup semi final for just the fourth time in their history after clinching a gruelling, nerve-shredding 2-1 victory over Norway in the sweltering, sticky heat of Miami.
A sensational comeback double from Jude Bellingham - once again cementing his status as the Three Lions' ultimate big-game saviour - saw Thomas Tuchel's resilient side battle back from 1-0 down to punch their ticket to a blockbuster semi final showdown with Lionel Messi's Argentina.
The game was a slow-burner that quickly flared into high drama. England found themselves chasing the match in the first half after a strange, sweeping cross-cum-shot from Norway's Andreas Schjelderup looped past Jordan Pickford.
For long stretches of the second half, a suffocating Norway looked far more likely to find a winner. Yet, when the chips were down, individual brilliance and elite squad depth dragged the Three Lions across the finish line.
