The key highlights came in England's response to Norway's opener. Gordon's cross from the left found Bellingham near the edge of the area. His first touch disrupted the defensive line, a quick turn escaped the markers, and his low shot travelled across Nyland and through the goalkeeper's left leg. Torbjorn Heggem fell in the challenge as Bellingham slid into the finish.
The goal changed the mood. Pickford had misread Schjelderup's effort, while Norway began finding more space around a defence that had initially limited Erling Haaland. Declan Rice was replaced at half-time, and Bellingham became the central figure in England's pressure. The stats capture his influence: six goals in five matches, three fouls drawn and seven duels won.
That is the summary of an absorbing knockout result: the score swung from Norway's lead to England's comeback through their standout midfielder. Tuchel's verdict was emphatic: "Já se falou o suficiente dele. Ele faz isso em todos os jogos, é de classe mundial."
