First-ever ban for handball goal: Heggebo suspended two matches under deception rule

West Brom striker Aune Heggebo received a two-match FA ban for scoring with his hand in a 2-1 win at Norwich — the first suspension under the 'successful deception of a match official' rule introduced ahead of 2024-25. The 75th-minute goal went in off his arm from Jimmy-Jay Morgan's cross. West Brom's appeal, arguing a keeper deflection left under 0.1 seconds to react, was rejected.
