England manager Thomas Tuchel lauds Morgan Rogers after Norway win

England defeated Norway 2‑1 after extra time in the World Cup quarter‑final, advancing to the semi‑finals.

Manager Thomas Tuchel praised substitute Morgan Rogers, who entered in the 89th minute and was deployed as a central midfielder (number 8) – a role he had not previously played. Rogers’ long‑range effort forced a save from Norway goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland, leading to Jude Bellingham’s winning goal. Tuchel explained the tactical shift, noting Reece James at right‑back, Elliot Anderson as the defensive midfielder, and Rogers as an additional midfielder, calling him a “key player” who took a “big step forward.”
