Fans spilled out onto the streets in jubilant scenes after Jude Bellingham carried England into the World Cup semi finals with a 2-1 victory over Norway. 

Huge crowds filled London's Piccadilly in the early hours of Sunday morning with supporters seen climbing on statues and throwing pints into the air. 

Others were seen mocking the Norwegians' Viking row celebration by sitting en masse in the street. 

There appeared to be some arrests as police clashed with fans who had been partying hard in pubs and fan zones where the game was being screened. 

England needed extra time to secure victory over Norway in Miami and a place in the final four of the World Cup. 

They will now take on the winners of Argentina against Switzerland at 8pm on Wednesday. 

There were tense scenes in London, Newcastle and Bristol at the 90-minute mark when both teams were level at 1-1 and the game headed into extra time. 

But fans jumped onto tables and sent their beer flying when Bellingham scored for England. 

The 23-year-old also netted an equaliser just before half time after Andreas Schjelderup put Norway in front. 

At one sold-out venue in Times Square, Newcastle, supporters began chanting: 'Don't take me home, please don't take me home, I just don't want to go to work.' 

Nevertheless, the loudest roar of the evening came in the 110th minute when Dan Burn was subbed on. 

The Magpies defender was born and raised in nearby Blyth.

Delirious scenes had been cut short in the first half of the match when Harry Kane snuck one into the back of the net but the goal was disallowed for offside.

There was also nervousness when Norway took their turn to go 2-1 in front but their goal was also scrubbed off the board following a VAR call. 

Bars were given permission to stay open until 2am - with 42 million pints expected to have been downed this evening. 

WeAreFanZones manager in Newcastle, Briony Young, 32, said: 'It's always busy for every England game but today's sold out in record time.

'Even though it's a bit drizzly and overcast, a little bit of rain won't put us Geordies off.

'There's been a real party atmosphere in the city all day. 

'Everyone is confident that we can get the job done and march into the semi-final.'

Crowds were buoyed up before the game as a DJ spun an England playlist including World In Motion, Three Lions (On A Shirt) and the Fat Les hit Vindaloo.

A rendition of Wonderwall also rang around the fan zone before kick-off.

Supporters, wary of still being hungover come Monday, chanted: 'Please don't take me home, I just don't want to go to work.

'I want to stay here and drink all the beer.'

Sunderland fan Jamie Rothwell took his girlfriend Danielle, 37, for a 'romantic' night out to watch the Three Lions.

The salesman, 40, said: 'Is there anything more romantic than Harry Kane putting England in the semi-final of the World Cup?

'To my mind, it's the perfect date night.'

Second-year sports student James Mason, 19, said: 'I think we will win 3-1 with Bellingham and Kane to score. I think it's inevitable that Haaland will score.

'I've put a tenner on it, which will bring in £290. If that happens, we'll be out until Monday.'

Friend George Dean, 19, added: 'We're going to be out all night, drinking all the beers because it's coming home.'

Cameron Armstrong, 26, with Chantelle Christensen, 26 and Jenni Armstrong, 23, said: 'I think if we can stop Norway from scoring first, we will do well. It's about keeping Haaland quiet.

'Hopefully Dan Burn will have him in his back pocket.'

Tonight is anticipated to be the busiest night for pubs since England's 2018 World Cup semi-final. 

An audience of 17 million is expected on ITV, plus five million on ITVX, the highest ratings since a combined 24.2 million watched the Euro 2024 final. 

Jubilant football fans have also packed out Boxpark in Wembley for the game

Wearing bucket hats with St George's flag, the crowd loudly sang football chants and songs as they prepared for the match.

Mark Bowring, 52, has travelled from Buckinghamshire to the north-west London venue with his two sons to watch the game on the big screen.

The business owner, who arrived at 6.30pm, said he has watched the last four matches at Boxpark due to its 'atmosphere'.

He said: 'If you can't get to the game it's got to be the best place to watch it.'

Excitement is also building outside the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami where England fans have gathered. 

Ryan Dougan said he believed the Three Lions have a chance of going all the way in the World Cup.

Commenting on how optimistic he was for the Three Lions in the tournament, he said: 'I'm getting bullish.

'I don't think, France aside, I don't think anyone's looked significantly better than us.

'We'll deal with France if we get them in the final, but I think we can beat anyone.

'One game at a time, let's go.'

Another England supporter said he fancies the Three Lions' chances more against Norway than he would have had Brazil progressed to the quarter finals.

Max Gill, 27, from London, said: 'I think they're (Norway) going to probably sit deep.

'I wouldn't fancy us more against Brazil, to be honest – they'd come out and attack.

'So, I'm still relatively confident, but a bit wary of Haaland on the counter.

'So, maybe 1-0 and then just sit back after.'
