With his brace against Slovenia, Erling Haaland became Norway’s all-time top scorer and entered the annals of history.
Consequently, what happened?
The Manchester City forward scored his 33rd goal for his nation on Thursday in the seventh minute of Norway’s Nations League match against Slovenia. That matches the 24-year-old with Jørgen Juve, a legendary player from Norway. Shortly after the hour, Haaland went one better to break the record for himself with another goal.
THE LARGER IMAGE
Haaland has been a prolific goal scorer for several seasons. In just 36 games for Norway, he has scored 34 goals, and in just 308 club football appearances, he has scored 256 goals. He is possibly the greatest striker in the world because of this, and he still has more to give.
WERE YOU AWARENESS?
Since 1934—the final year he scored goals for his nation—Juve has held the record for most goals scored in Norway. Haaland, a former star of Borussia Dortmund, has now surpassed a record that had stood for ninety years.
Next?
Ex-Red Bull Salzburg star Haaland may play for his nation on Sunday night away to Austria following the match against Slovenia. As of right now, they are leading their Nations League group (Group B, League C), which also includes Kazakhstan, who has never won.
