ENGLAND’S equaliser against Norway should have been DISALLOWED after an extraordinary unseen moment.
Jude Bellingham levelled the game at 1-1 just seconds before halftime in their World Cup quarterfinal.
However, replays showed the when Orjan Nyland took his goal kick, the ball hit the sky camera above the pitch.
It flicked down and landed at the feet of Elliott Anderson who passed the ball to Anthony Gordon, who then set up Bellingham.

Under Fifa rules there should have been a DROP BALL when it struck the camera elevated above the field.
It would have meant the goal would not have stood, and VAR could have interfered.
Ex-Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg said on Fox: “VAR can interfere if that contact of the ball on the camera cable is part of a reviewable incident, an attacking phase of play leading to a goal is part of the var reviewable incident. it should have been picked up the VAR.”
