Incredible grit and will to win

Subs did great, although Eze was only brought in once other subs came on. Quite a lot of man love for Big Dan Burn. And Jed Spence, massive.

But Tuchel was absolutely right. We have players that are generally a step or two above the Norwegians. Not everywhere, but in most places. And we didn’t play like it. We were quite lucky that Norway didn’t capitalise on their good spells and chances. And how brilliant it is to have a manager that can see it and say it and insist that we need to do better, not just pump his fist and say the lads dig in.

Tonight we won because Bellingham produced magic, and everyone else had incredible fight. But we should be better than that, and will need to be to progress from here.
