Norway had the temerity to take the lead through Andreas Schjelderup's teasing cross-shot, and might even have made it 2-0 had Alexander Sorloth chosen to pass to a wide-open Erling Haaland instead of going it on his own.
Their one mistake late in the first half allowed in-form Jude Bellingham to score the equalizer; but as the second half started, it was Norway who looked the more likely with a succession of corners that were causing England increasing palpitations.
In fact; from one of those; they actually scored through Thorbjorn Heggem; but it was unfortunately overturned by VAR after Haaland was caught pushing Elliot Anderson. Left-back David Wolfe also hit the bar as the England defence seemed to be teetering.
It was still anyone's game until into extra-time; when a mistake by the previously-reliable Orjan Nyland allowed Bellingham to pounce again and seal England's victory.
