Three Lions march into World Cup last four
The Three Lions needed extra time to defeat the Scandinavians, but Jude Bellingham was the two-goal hero in Miami, Florida.
The midfielder struck in first-half stoppage time after Andreas Schjelderup opened the scoring at the Hard Rock Stadium, before he put Thomas Tuchel’s men ahead in the third minute of the additional half-hour.
And now they can look ahead to the last four, and a date with Argentina or Switzerland.
England now have three days off before their World Cup semi-final.
The Three Lions will line up in the second semi-final clash, scheduled for 8pm BST on Wednesday, July 15, 20216.
The Atlanta Stadium, more commonly known as the Mercedes-Benz Stadium will host the game.
Just 24 hours earlier, on Tuesday, July 14, France and Spain meet in Dallas in the first semi-final.
Also an 8pm BST kick-off, the two European giants will face off in Dallas.
Unlike the last-16 win over Mexico, where the Three Lions knew Norway lay in wait in the quarter-finals, England have a little wait to find out who their semi-final opponents will be.
Argentina and Switzerland face off at 2am BST, a few short hours after England beat Norway. The winner will meet the Three Lions in Atlanta.
