England edged past Norway 2-1 in a tense World Cup encounter, a result that left manager Thomas Tuchel visibly unsettled.
Tuchel, who took charge of the Three Lions only recently, lambasted his side's overall display, insisting that fortune played a larger role than technical quality.
Bellingham's Late Heroics
Jude Bellingham emerged as the decisive figure, striking twice and delivering the winning goal in extra time, a performance that elevated him to a shared lead with veteran striker Harry Kane in the tournament's scoring charts.
Kane, who had already reached six goals, now finds himself level with the 20‑year‑old midfielder, underscoring the depth of England's attacking options.
With the group stage concluding, England will now await the outcome of the Argentina versus Switzerland match to determine their semifinal opponent, a prospect that has heightened anticipation among fans and analysts alike.
Tuchel's candid assessment reflects a broader concern within the squad about consistency, as the manager seeks to fine‑tune strategies before the knockout rounds.
