Editor’s note: Follow for live updates on the England vs. Norway World Cup showdown. Norway believed they had taken a second-half lead on Saturday, but the goal was wiped out after a VAR review due to a foul on Erling Haaland. Torbjørn Heggem had struck on a rebound in the 55th minute to seemingly put Norway ahead in the World Cup quarterfinal in Miami. However, referee Clément Turpin was summoned to the monitor soon after the ball went in the net as VAR Jerome Brisard flagged a potential foul. Just before the corner kick, Haaland shoved England midfielder Elliot Anderson with both hands, sending him to the ground. Haaland then found himself involved again as the corner was delivered, with the ball bouncing to Patrick Berg, whose shot was saved by Jordan Pickford and ricocheted to Heggem. The decision was reviewed, and the goal stood no longer in the official tally.
