England's dramatic equaliser against Norway in the FIFA World Cup quarter-final has sparked a major controversy. Norwegian players and fans believe the ball struck the overhead SkyCam cable before the goal, arguing that play should have been stopped under the Laws of the Game. FIFA reviewed the incident using connected ball technology and stated that the sensor inside the ball detected no contact with the overhead cable.
As a result, the governing body upheld the referee's decision, allowing Jude Bellingham's goal to stand. Despite FIFA's explanation, the debate refuses to die, with television replays continuing to divide fans and pundits ahead of the World Cup semi-finals. NDTV's Rica Roy brings you more on this.
