Amazing clip shows incredible Sheffield scenes as Jude Bellingham sends England into the World Cup semi-final
The video was taken in the early hours of the morning as England overcame Erling Haaland’s Norway to reach the last four of the World Cup
A viral video clip of Sheffield football fans celebrating England’s progression into the semi-final of the World Cup has been surfacing on social media.
On Saturday evening, huge crowds of football fanatics packed into the newly erected Devonshire Green Fan Zone to witness greatness from Jude Bellingham as England secured their place in the the last four of the competition.
However, the match was anything but straightforward with youngster Andreas Schjelderup scoring a remarkable goal after 36 minutes to leave fan zones across the country sweating. Bellingham levelled before half time with an excellent finish after taking Anthony Gordon’s pass perfectly in his stride.
Norway threatened after the break and had a goal disallowed following a push from Erling Haaland during a corner. And that’d prove the last England fans would really see from the Manchester City talisman, who was subbed off during extra time.
Bellingham scored his second of the game by using his razor-sharp reactions to get on the end of a rebound after a saved effort from Morgan Rogers.
It marked just the fourth time England have reached the semi-final of the World Cup - and is just the third time they’ve managed it on foreign soil.
The moment was captured beautifully by the cameras at fan city as many fans jumped onto the tables, threw beer in their air and began dancing and waving their flags around.
It’s a fine example of the atmosphere the ‘Home of Football’ is capable of making, and one many will hope for a repeat of on Wednesday as the Three Lions go toe-toe with an old enemy in Argentina, who they’ve not defeated in a knockout match since the World Cup-winning campaign of 1966.
