England vs Norway 2-1 (aet): FIFA World Cup 2026 – as it happened

Thanks for joining our live coverage of England’s dramatic 2-1 win over Norway in the World Cup quarterfinal.

We have full coverage of the Argentina vs Switzerland match, which will determine who the Three Lions face in the semifinal on Wednesday on our other live page here.

But for now, from me, Alex Hoad, and my colleague Patrick Keddie, goodbye!

If you want to relive the tension and drama from Miami, you can do so here in our match report.

More good news for England is that Jude Bellingham, Marc Guehi, Declan Rice and Nico O’Reilly avoided a booking today, and they are free to play in the semifinal as a result.

They will face Argentina or Switzerland in Atlanta on Wednesday (19:00 GMT).

Kick-off in that final quarterfinal is just over half an hour away; you can find our buildup here.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has been speaking to English broadcaster ITV: “We made life very, very difficult for ourselves today. The result is fantastic. We are in the last four. It’s amazing, but not happy with the performance.

“The commitment is there, but we made life difficult for ourselves in the way we played – sloppy, a lot of technical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough. We were lucky today.

“It’s about the quality – we need to play better. We will get better [in the semifinal]. We need to. Now it’s celebration. Now it’s taking it all in. We have three days. We need everything.”

Jude Bellingham has now scored seven goals at the World Cup for England – the only player to net more in the competition while aged 23 or younger is Kylian Mbappe (12), while Bellingham is now level with Pele on seven.

With braces against Mexico and Norway, Bellingham is the first player to score 2+ goals in consecutive knockout stage appearances in the same World Cup since Diego Maradona in 1986 (2 vs England, 2 vs Belgium).

Our World Cup journey ends here

We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved, and grateful for everyone who has been with us along the way.

A huge thank you to everyone who has cheered us on – from the stands, at home in front of the screen, and through all the messages we’ve received. You have lifted us all the way

England have won their last four games in the World Cup. Their last longest winning streak was from  July 16, 1966, to June 2, 1970, a run of six games.

There are tears.

Norway keeper Nyland looks inconsolable after his blunder paved the way for Bellingham to slam home the winner.
