Erling Haaland hit a hat-trick as Norway beat Kosovo 3-0 in a friendly to secure their first victory this year.
Haaland and co. will be missing from Euro 2024 after they failed to qualify from Group A – where they finished six points behind runners-up Scotland.
Despite that disappointment, the Manchester City striker had plenty to cheer in Oslo as he reached 30 goals in 32 international appearances.
The first came with 15 minutes gone as Haaland powered home a header from David Moller Wolfe’s pinpoint cross.
It was the first time Haaland had found the net for his country since a 4-0 win over Cyprus in October last year.
Stale Solbakken’s team had to be patient with their second goal not coming until the 70th minute.
Haaland finished off a rapid counter-attack after Antonio Nusa broke at pace before finding the Premier League’s golden boot winner, who did the rest.
Five minutes later Haaland celebrated his third hat-trick for his country – and the 22nd of his career – by tapping into an empty net following neat link-up play with Aron Donnum.
