England fans flooded the streets of central London in the early hours of Tuesday morning after the Three Lions booked their place in the World Cup semi-finals with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Norway.
Wild Celebrations in the West End
Thousands of supporters poured into the West End, bringing parts of Regent Street to a standstill. Footage shared online shows England fans scaling traffic lights, blocking roads, and dancing shoulder-to-shoulder as they brought traffic to a halt. In one video, police officers can be seen pushing through the crowd while repeatedly shouting at football fans to 'move back' in an attempt to restore order.
Chants of 'It's coming home' could be heard as beers were launched skyward and a sea of red-and-white shirts bounced in unison. One witness described the scenes as 'more like a festival than a football watch party.'
Bellingham's Heroics in Miami
The celebrations came after another thrilling performance from Thomas Tuchel's side at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Jude Bellingham proved England's match-winner, launching the Three Lions into the last four, where they will face Argentina on Wednesday.
Norway struck first in the 36th minute when Andreas Schjelderup's looping, mishit cross drifted over the goalkeeper and into the far top corner. But Bellingham hauled his side level deep into first-half stoppage time, weaving past two defenders before sliding Anthony Gordon's pass into the net.
Then, just three minutes into extra time, the Real Madrid star reacted quickest after Morgan Rogers' shot was spilled by goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland, pouncing on the rebound to complete England's comeback.
Road to the Final
With another victory secured, England are now just one match away from a place in the World Cup final as anticipation builds for Wednesday's semi-final against Argentina.
