Erling Haaland continued the stellar form he showed for Norway at this summer’s World Cup, scoring two times to lead his team to a 3-2 Nations League win over Denmark on Thursday.
The prolific Manchester City striker doubled the hosts lead in the 18th minute after Oscar Bobb had put them up early with the opening goal of the game.
Mikkel Damsgaard pulled one back for the Danes and Rasmus Højlund equalized on the hour mark.

The City star has also scored multiple goals in eight of his last 10 competitive international appearances and has 64 goals and seven assists in 56 games for Norway. He found the back of the net seven times for Norway at the 2026 World Cup.
