Incident
Goal cancelled β€” foul in build-up
Law cited
Law 12 β€” pushing an opponent is a foul, and a genuine two-handed shove is not erased by the opponent embellishing his fall.
Recommended action
Goal correctly disallowed, corner retaken β€” Haaland shoved the England player with both arms before the corner was taken, and a goal cannot stand off that push.

Norway scored from a corner, but a VAR review showed Haaland shoving an England player to the ground with both arms before the corner was taken; the goal was disallowed and the corner ordered retaken. This is correct on both counts. A two-handed shove is a genuine push, and the opponent falling easily does not erase it β€” a goal cannot stand off it. And because the offence happened while the ball was out of play, the right restart is a retaken corner, not a free kick, which is precisely what the referee gave. CORRECT DECISION, medium confidence β€” it flips to WRONG (harsh) if the contact is read as routine two-way corner jostling rather than a clear one-sided shove, and to PARTIALLY CORRECT if a warranted caution on Haaland was missed.
