By Adwaidh Rajan BBC Sport journalist Published 2 hours ago Norway's impressive World Cup campaign ended in a 2-1 quarter-final defeat by England , but their exit was accompanied by frustration as they felt Jude Bellingham's equaliser should have been disallowed for an unusual reason. The Norwegians claimed the ball struck one of the spidercam wires in the build-up to Bellingham's equalising goal in Miami. Had it been determined that the ball had touched a wire, the goal would have been ruled out and play restarted with a dropped ball. "It's ridiculous, this one with the wire," Norway and Fulham midfielder Sander Berge said after the game. "[The result] 2-1 says itself – there are small margins and we know which way it went." Norway captain Martin Odegaard also questioned the refereeing calls in the last-eight tie. "I didn't see it myself [the incident], but margins were not in our favour today with some of the decisions," he said. "Maybe you need that in games like this." Norway were also left aggrieved when a second-half header from Torbjorn Heggem was ruled out following a video assistant referee (VAR) review that penalised Erling Haaland for a shove on Elliot Anderson as a corner was taken. "It's an advantage to be as big and physically strong as Erling, but you get punished if you hold a player," Berge said.

Replays showed Norway goalkeeper Orjan Nyland's goal kick passing close to the spidercam cable suspended above the playing surface. The ball then fell for Elliot Anderson, who fed Anthony Gordon before the England winger passed for Jude Bellingham to drive on to the ball and calmly score. Several Norway players immediately surrounded referee Clement Turpin, arguing the goal should not have stood. Head coach Stale Solbakken was seen talking to the match official at half-time. Of the decision, Solbakken said: "He [the referee] says that he didn't see it himself and that he didn't get any message that it actually happened. "That's a good explanation and since Fifa says there was no touch and there was no signal from the chip of the ball, then he can't do anything about it. The ball fell straight down, right in front of the bench, so it did touch it. "Many on the bench reacted immediately. I was not one of them, but many of them saw it." Speaking on BBC Sport, former England striker Wayne Rooney added: "The ball seems to deviate and come down quickly. "It sort of deviates the ball." Huge 'Snicko' VAR call prolongs Ronaldo's last d
