A Norway goal in the second half of their World Cup quarter-final clash against England was disallowed in controversial fashion.
Torbjorn Heggem thought he had put the Norwegians 2-1 up against England only for referee Clement Turpin to overturn the goal after a VAR review that spotted Erling Haaland pushing Elliot Anderson in the build-up.
While Norway felt that it was the incorrect call, the new rule brought into action at the World Cup this summer proves that it was the right call.
A number of new rules were brought into place for the World Cup , including one about fouls from corners.
The new rule, brought into place by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), has stated that if a foul takes place before the ball was in play, then a corner must be retaken.

Another rule brought in related to corners is that if a goalkeeper takes longer than five seconds to restart play, a corner will be awarded to the opposition side.
Other rules have also included the covered mouth rule in which any player caught speaking to a player while covering their mouth will be shown a red card.
There are also punishments for taking too long to come off the pitch when substitutes are made, as well as players going down for tactical reasons.
