Erling Haaland marked his first game as Norway captain by becoming his country’s all-time leading scorer on Thursday.
The Manchester City striker scored a right-footed shot from a rebound in the seventh minute of Norway’s home match against Slovenia in the Nations League for his 33rd international goal to move level with the late Jorgen Juve on Norway’s list of record scorers.
Haaland added his second after the break from an Alexander Sørloth assist to surpass Juve and put Norway up 3-0.
Juve had held the record since 1937.
The 24-year-old Haaland seems destined to break the record. He has 32 goals in his first 35 games with the national team prior to Thursday.
