Norway took a big and sure victory when they defeated the blueberry nation Gibraltar 5-1 at home on Tuesday night.
Who was behind the victory?
Erling Braut Haaland of course. The Norwegian sensation stood for a hat trick and at the same time wrote himself into the history books. According to Norwegian VG is he now the youngest ever to reach double digits in the number of goals in national team contexts. Haaland has, in 15 matches, scored ten goals in the Norwegian national team. The 21-year-old made his national team debut just over two years ago.
– The hunger to score more goals is completely crazy. He is a goal machine, says the former national team captain and now the expert Kjetil Rekdal in VG’s studio.
5-1 also means that Norway puts pressure on the table the Netherlands. Both teams stand at 13 points after six games. But Norway has a worse goal difference.
