📸 Shocking VAR blunder! Why England's goal should not have stood | OneFootball

Norway can’t believe it. The English benefited from a major mistake by the officials. Jude Bellingham’s equalizer, as beautiful as it was, should not have counted under a correct interpretation of the rules. 

What happened? After a goal kick by Norway keeper Örjan Nyland, the ball touched a wire of the Skycam. Neither the referees on the field nor the VAR noticed it. 

Erling Haaland and a few other Norwegian players had pointed out that the ball may have slightly changed its flight path, but the goal stood. Also because there was apparently no clear evidence of a touch. During the second half, however, numerous snapshots of the contact were circulating on social media. Madness.
