FT: Norway 1-2 England

1. Bronze with superb long-range winner
2. England's first World Cup knockout win
3. England will play hosts Canada in QF tie
4. Match takes place 00:30 BST on Sunday

Right then, that's us just about done but if England's Women's World Cup last-16 win has whet your appetite for more action from Canada then starting on BBC Two and online from 00:50 BST is USA versus Colombia as they go head-to-head for a place in the last eight.

We'll be back for live coverage of all the quarter-finals from Friday, so join us again then. Bye for now.

Rachel Yankey

Former England midfielder

"Canada's manager John Herdman does like to talk and he will play mind games. Norway tried that a little bit too, with all the talk in the press before the match. But I think England will cope with that, just as they did today.

"Canada beat England in the last warm-up game before the World Cup started, but they won't be taking a lot from that. I'm sure John will come out with a few things to say but they will be ready."

Natasha Dowie

Liverpool striker

"The warm-up game against Canada - it was not the best of games, quite edgy. I think the quarter-final tie will be completely different. England will need to use the crowd as a positive, believe in what they are good at and be a really tight group.

"Who will play against Canada? Against Norway Mark Sampson brought striker Jodie Taylor on. I don't know how fit she is after her injury problems before the tournament. She is probably not fit to start. Then there is Eni Aluko, who had been in great form coming into the tournament and started against France but has not played since. The coach has got a great handful to pick from."

It is barely a month since England last met Canada, with the two meeting in a Women's World Cup warm-up towards the end of May. Canada won that one, with England second best for large periods of the game. England look to have come on a fair bit since then, though.

"Mark Sampson is the tinkerman, that's what everybody has been calling him. He will change the players, the formation I have no clue what team he will pick but I would go and play a nice game of positive football because that is what England are best at.

"Previous manager Hope Powell did a great job of setting up the team defensively over the years but the players felt frustrated that we went up to a certain point on the pitch and had no end product in the final third. We wanted to express ourselves and had the creative players to do that.

"England still do know how to defend but you have to give them a licence to express themselves, because I really believe they can go and win games."

Apparently that was Lucy Bronze's first shot on goal at the Women's World Cup. Reckon she will have a few more pops if she finds herself in similar positions against Canada.

Player reaction

BBC

England's Jill Scott, who came on as a substitute against Norway: "It is all a bit of a blur. The heat was a big test for us but I am just so pleased to win, two fantastic goals and we are jut pleased not to be going home.

"It is difficult when you are not starting but I just felt like I kept myself ready and did my bit to help the team. We go through a lot of tactics before games and I felt like I knew what I was doing."

Manager reaction

Mark Sampson

England head coach Mark Sampson: "The team have made history and they deserve all the credit in the world. We knew it was a big game and the squad wanted to write their names in English football history and they have stepped up and delivered for the country.

"We have seen in the tournament that if you concede the first goal it is incredibly difficult to win a game - but I thought the group showed incredible resilience, character and game discipline. We can take incredible confidence from this victory.

"The substitutes made an incredible impact today. The object was to get to Vancouver and we are there now. We have got to play a tough game but lets keep this journey going."

"If England go 1-0 up on Canada there will be massive pressure on them, because everybody will be expecting them to go through - all the fans of the home nation. England will need to be patient but they also have to be expressive.

"Being an underdog you have nothing to lose. That will take the pressure off us. Today, people looked a bit nervous, as if maybe the history was pining them down. Now, they can just go out and play."

Joy, oh joy.

Natasha Dowie

"England need to get the balance right against Canada. They will need to keep it tight because Canada have gone far and will have a massive crowd behind them, but England will also need to have those players who can be positive going forward, because that is when they are at their best."

So what happens next? Should England go for it from the outset against Canada in the last eight, or start cautiously and build from there like they did today?

"Mark Sampson has really looked at changing the whole environment around the England team and has changed it for the better.

"Under him there has been a lot more consideration of things like how you really execute a gameplan. How you slow a game down if you need to, how to accelerate things when you can.

"England are gathering more and more momentum now. They are at the business end of the knockout stages and are winning games - their confidence is going to be growing. For me, that is only going to continue."

England goalscorer Lucy Bronze: "I guess scoring the goal is a bit of history but it was a team effort and a tough game to play in, we are ecstatic to have won.

"The goal - it was one where normally I would pass but in training when I get to the edge of the area people say 'why not shoot?' so when I did.

"What a terrific game it will be against Canada. We saw a sold-out crowd for their game on Sunday so now we need to put this game to bed and move on to the next one."

"And looking at the route through, England could be making it all the way to the final now."

"Knowing what the girls have gone through over the past few years and all the changes that have been implemented, tonight it has all happened for them.

Sue Smith

Former England forward

"What a transformation - first half everyone was disappointed with England, in the second half they were absolutely fantastic. They stepped that bit higher, looked more positive on the ball. We said set pieces would be important and they were today.

"Jill Scott made a massive difference when she came on, provided more energy and width and showed qualify in possession."

FULL-TIME

They're through! Historic for England as they win a knockout game at a Women's World Cup for the first time thanks to a much improved second-half display and a brilliant winner by Lucy Bronze.

Norway launches the ball forward but regain the ball and knock it on for Jodie Taylor, who knocks it beyond her marker but can't get there quick enough. Seconds left.

Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis

BBC Radio 5 live

"This is history for England. The neutral might want to see both teams still going for it but England are doing well to slow things down. Norway are getting anxious and annoyed. Signs England are doing the right things."

Now it is Jodie Taylor's turn to take the ball towards the corner flag. It is not pretty, but it's effective.

Some good work by Jill Scott as she wastes a couple of precious seconds by taking the ball into the corner again. Boos ring out from the Norway fans, but England won't care.

THREE minutes of stoppage time!

"England are showing good game management at the moment. They are really hustling together as a team to make sure there are no easy chances."

Not to tempt fate or anything, but two of the last three goals England have conceded have come in stoppage time. Can they hold out this time? They are in possession at the moment, as Jill Scott runs the ball into the corner.

My word this is going to be a fingernail-biting final 10 minutes. Can England close this out?

Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis

"That is a brilliant strike but what fantastic build-up play from England, too. Both substitutes combining with some lovely one-touch play, before Lucy Bronze opens up her body and rifles it home, brilliant technique. A sweet, rocket of a strike. There was no chance of the goalkeeper stopping that."

Sue Smith

"What a fantastic strike. It was excellent build-up play from Scott and Taylor, then an excellent strike from Bronze, forward from right-back. It's absolutely brilliant by England"

GOAL

Reuters

SCREAMER! What a goal by Lucy Bronze and England are ahead! Some lovely link up play involving Jill Scott and Jodie Taylor ends with Bronze being teed up on the edge of the area and she smashes an unstoppable drive into the back of the net. Keeper got a hand to it, but no chance that was staying out.

Sue Smith

Former England forward

"Mjelde is so good going forward, she is usually a midfielder but has been given a full-back position through brilliant performances."

Laura Bassett is absolutely done for pace by Ada Hegerberg, who strides through on goal and has just Karen Bardsley to beat but the England goalkeeper does well to close down the gap and make the save. Moments later, Elise Thorsnes shoots over from a corner.

Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis

BBC Radio 5 live

"Much better from England now, they are finally playing the game in Norway's final third and are not letting them out easily, they're stifling them. It shows the good spirit that Mark Sampson has talked about - to not panic after conceding the goal, was key.

"England have taken the one chance they've made and there is plenty of this match to play."

The leveller

BBC

You can also now watch highlights of the England equaliser via the highlights tab.

SUBSTITUTION

Norway respond by making their second change of the game, striker Elise Thorsnes on for Kristine Minde and she is straight into action as a poor clearing header falls to her inside the area, but she shows rustiness to slice wide.

This is much better from England, forcing Norway back into their own half. They forge an opportunity when Steph Houghton knocks the ball on for Karen Carney to chase down the left. Her cross is just over the heads of her team-mates but runs out to an unmarked Jill Scott, whose low shot lacks power and accuracy. England, though, are giving Norway a few things to think about.

England are suddenly looking a bit more decisive in attack now and there's almost a chance for Jodie Taylor moments after coming on as a ball into the box falls at her feet, but she is crowded out by defenders and Norway clear.

Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis

BBC Radio 5 live

"We've seen this set piece three or four times from Norway in this game already. The delivery, an in-swinging corner was spot on. An unconventional tactic to make the change on a corner, but that's not why they conceded. It was so hard to defend against. And considering the run of play, in the second half so far especially, I'm not surprised."

Sue Smith

Former England forward

"The ball was whipped in with so much pace. Gulbrandsen just got a flick at the front post, it's definitely her goal."

GOAL

England finally pay the price for giving away too many corners as the ball is sent in towards the near post and Solveig Gulbrandsen is there to direct the ball into the net off the underside of the bar with a header. There's time, but a big response needed from England now. Got to go for it.

Norway are finding it all too easy to close down Toni Duggan, who is far too isolated in attack. Maybe the pace of Eni Aluko is needed alongside her to give the defence something extra to think about?

Text us on 81111

"We play so much better when we are the front foot. When we go back to a defensive style, the three midfielders are quite the same, it sends a negative vibe. Nobody looks like they want to get the ball. I know what these players can do, maybe someone like a Jordan Knobs needs to come on."

"That is a let off for England. Lucy Bronze didn't put enough pace on the ball, it was too casual, but Karen Bardsley got her angles spot on and reacted well to the rebound. We do not want to gift Norway any chances.

"Toni Duggan has been feeding off scraps so far, up front for Mark Sampson's side. I'm no tactical genius but surely somebody more attacking needs to come on if there are to be changes at half-time."

CLOSE!

England are living dangerous as half-time approaches. Lucy Bronze sells Karen Bardsley short with an awful backpass and Ada Hegerberg is in, she has a fair shout for a penalty too as Bronze, trying to make amends, tries to wrestle her down to the ground in her desperation to get to the ball. The Norwegian stays on her feet and smashes a shot goalwards, but straight at Bardsley.

Moments earlier there was hesitation between Laura Bassett and Bardsley that almost caused problems for a very nervy England.

Half a chance for Norway as Isabell Herlovsen is left alone just outside the England area. She has a go at goal and gets the power but not the accuracy and the ball whizzes wide of Karen Bardsley's left-hand post. She turns, red faced from the heat and breathing heavily. The players will be desperate for half-time.

Karen Carney is caught by a stray boot as she tries to latch on to Toni Duggan's ball and England have a free-kick some 30 yards from goal. Fara Williams fancies it, but launches the ball well, well over.

"Much better from England, this is what we want to see. Just over the past few minutes the midfield has been sitting a bit higher up, pressuring the Norwegian centre-backs in possession. Hopefully this little spell of play on the front foot will give them more impetus. Keeping the ball high up the pitch suits England better and I want to see more of that."

A slightly fortuitous corner for England as a ball forward flicks off Marita Skammelsrud Lund's shoulder and behind. The corner is headed away but England keep the ball and start to put a bit of pressure on as Karen Carney's trickery forces a panicky Norway defence to thump the ball behind. Again the corner comes to nothing, with Steph Houghton heading over, but better from England after a very dull first half hour.

Norway must think they have spotted a weakness in this England side as they are looking to ping crosses into the box at every opportunity.

"It's all a bit lethargic out there from England. I understand it is hot but for them to tap into what they are good at they need to move the ball quicker. Norway are dropping deep, which makes it hard, but England must up the tempo of this game. If they continue like this, it's only a matter of time before Norway get some joy."

Opta

Norway have increased their dominance of the possession stats, taking it up to 61% now and England are largely being pegged back in their own half. Just Karen Carney and Toni Duggan venturing into Norway's half on a regular basis. A break in play is pounced on by the players as they dive for the touchline to take on fluids. It is super hot out there.

Sue Smith

Former England forward

"They just seem to be getting through too easily. Norway look so dangerous when they come forward. England need to relax. Toni Duggan is very isolated."

The gaps are too big between England's midfielders and forwards, with Toni Duggan pretty much operating as a sole striker, completely isolated. Lucy Bronze tries to lead a charge forward but she has no options and Duggan has to come wide to help her out, giving Norway time to close her down and snuff out the attack.

Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis

BBC Radio 5 live

"It is all Norway here. I thought Karen Bardsley might have come for that cross - it only bounced three yards from the line in the end. But for me England have to be cutting off the supply.

"It's not been as dazzling a start as we have seen from England recently. It's been hesitant. They need to switch on and start playing a bit higher up the pitch, keep the ball better. At the moment they are making a few too many basic errors."

"England have got to keep the ball better. They are giving it straight to Norway, who are then straight on the attack."

"Very Joe Hart-esque from Karen Bardsley there. Laura Bassett was caught higher than Steph Houghton and that allowed the gap to open for Isabell Herlovsen. A great save from Bardsley."

CLOSE!

Good save Karen Bardsley! England's start has been lethargic and that almost catches them out as Norway slice open the England defence to put Isabell Herlovsen through on goal but, fortunately for England, Bardsley is quick off her line to make herself big and block the shot with her left foot.

"When England win the ball back they have to try and keep possession. It could even be a five-yard pass, but they are giving it straight back to Norway. Toni Duggan is the outlet but she needs to get the ball to feet so she can bring other players in around her."

"When England go into that defensive shape, it's almost a 4-4-1-1. They are trying to stay solid, but they need options when they break, otherwise Toni Duggan will be isolated. I'd like to see Carney and Kirby a little higher."

No doubt it is a bold move by Mark Sampson to rotate his side as often as he does, but it certainly makes it difficult for his opposition boss to do his homework on England. At the moment, Sampson's side are coping well with Norway's physicality, although struggling to string a few passes together and no real chances for either side yet.

"A high intensity start from England. In terms of formation it's looking like a 4-4-2 diamond maybe, although I'm not quite sure how it will work out. There have been three sets of tactics in each of England's three games so far, so this could make it four from four.

"Karen Bardsley has started positively too, commanding her box well."

Norway respond by winning a couple of corners in quick succession. Fara Williams deflects the first behind before Karen Bardsley strides through a crowd of players to punch the second away confidently.
