Aune Heggebo, West Bromwich Albion and the Football Association
August 2026
West Bromwich Albion forward Aune Heggebo received a two-match ban for deception after a cross struck his hand before going into Norwich City’s net. He became the first player charged under the deception rule introduced in the 2017-18 season.
The FA judged the incident as deception of a match official, while West Brom manager James Morrison argued the contact was accidental. Heggebo missed the win over Burnley and will also sit out the Carabao Cup tie at Newcastle.
