Key Moments
Norway struck first at the Estadio Hardrock in Miami. Alexis Schjelderup converted in the 36th minute after Martin Odegaard's assist, giving the Scandinavians a slender advantage heading into the break.
England equalised before half-time. Jude Bellingham finished from Anthony Gordon's assist on 45 minutes, levelling the contest just as the teams headed off.
The match remained locked at 1-1 through a tense second half. Norway pressed for a winner but England's defence held firm until the closing stages.
Bellingham proved decisive in the endgame. The England midfielder struck again in the 93rd minute to put his side ahead, a crucial goal that appeared to have settled the tie.
England added a fourth goal in the 99th minute to seal the victory. The final scoreline of 2-1 does not reflect the late drama, with England's late surge proving too much for Norway to overcome.
Bellingham's double - one either side of half-time and another deep into stoppage time - was the standout individual performance. His ability to find the net at crucial moments proved the difference between the sides on a night when Norway's early advantage counted for little.
