Norway head coach Stale Solbakken launches water bottle at his own backroom staff after Jude Bellingham's equaliser for England in World Cup quarter-final

Norway head coach Stale Solbakken couldn’t contain his frustration at England’s equaliser just before half-time as he launched a water bottle towards his own staff.

England equalised in first-half stoppage-time when Jude Bellingham burst into the Norway penalty area before finishing emphatically with his left foot.

The goal restored parity for the Three Lions after Norway had taken the lead through Andreas Schjelderup’s fortuitous cross.

And the manner in which Norway conceded was too much for Solbakken as he threw the water bottle he was drinking back at his own bench.

Solbakken frustrations continued at half-time too as he remonstrated to referee Clement Turpin.

The winner of this quarter-final tie will face either reigning champions Argentina or Switzerland in the semi-final on Wednesday (8pm, BST).
