England 'Dodged a Bullet' as Key Goal Disallowed, Say Pundits

The crucial moment came when a strike that would have put England ahead was ruled out. Pundits Wayne Rooney and Ellen White, speaking after the match, were of the opinion that the decision to disallow the goal was a fortunate break for Gareth Southgate's team.

The goal, scored by Torbjorn Heggem, was ultimately chalked off due to an infringement. Specifically, the referee deemed that Erling Haaland had committed a foul on Elliott Anderson in the build-up to the strike.

Both former England captain Rooney and World Cup winner White felt that the ruling worked in England's favour, implying that the foul might have been borderline or that England benefited from the lack of an equalizer.
