## Summary

England's match against Norway at the 2026 World Cup featured a contentious moment when a second-half goal by Torbjorn Heggem was ruled out for a foul. BBC Sport pundits Wayne Rooney and Ellen White both suggested England "got lucky" with the decision, highlighting how the disallowed goal worked in England's favour.

The goal was chalked off after Erling Haaland was judged to have fouled England's Elliott Anderson in the build-up. The incident was analysed by the BBC's World Cup pundits, with the accompanying video coverage available to UK users only.
