JAKARTA - England midfielder Jude Bellingham said the spirit of never giving up was the main factor that led his team to turn around and win 2-1 over Norway in the 2026 World Cup quarterfinal on Sunday WIB.
Bellingham became the hero of the Three Lions' victory after scoring two goals that ensured England advanced to the semifinals.
"Character and persistence brought us through this game. Even when things didn't go as expected, we gave everything we had," Bellingham said on FIFA's website on Sunday.
The Real Madrid player was proud of his team-mates' performance who were able to bounce back after falling behind to Norway.
"I'm very proud of this team. This is a victory for everyone," said the 23-year-old.
According to Bellingham, England's success in getting a ticket to the semi-finals is also inseparable from the support of the team and the British people.
"All countries feel this victory, including all the people who have always been behind us and the team staff," said Bellingham.
England fell behind first after Andreas Schjelderup gave Norway the lead in the 36th minute.
Bellingham then equalised in extra time before scoring the winner in the 93rd minute of extra time.
Thomas Tuchel's team will next face the winner of the other quarterfinal match, Argentina against Switzerland.
