With two strikes against Norway, Jude Bellingham officially becomes the first midfielder in World Cup history to score 6 goals.
This milestone was established following the brilliant performance of the midfielder on Real Madrid’s payroll in the quarter-final match against Norway on the morning of July 12, helping the “Three Lions” temporarily overcome the difficulty.
The match took place with full of difficulties for the “Three Lions” when Norway unexpectedly took the lead in the 36th minute. Andreas Schjelderup executed an improvised move from the left-wing corridor, unleashing a finish from a tight angle that sent the ball straight into the far corner of the goal, completely beating goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
However, Bellingham’s class spoke out at the right time in the 45+2nd minute. From an intelligent pass by Anthony Gordon, the midfielder wearing the number 10 shirt penetrated the penalty area, skillfully eliminating the challenge of the opposing defender before unleashing a dangerous diagonal finish to equalize 1-1.
Entering extra time, the 23-year-old star continued to shine with the goal that raised the score to 2-1. After a long-range shot from Morgan Rogers left goalkeeper Orjan Nyland unable to control the ball cleanly, Bellingham rushed in to fire home the rebound from close range extremely quickly to complete his brace.
The match between the England team and Norway is still ongoing with the temporary advantage leaning towards the “Three Lions” in extra time. Thomas Tuchel’s pupils were even denied a penalty by VAR in the 101st minute.
