    Unstoppable! Erling Haaland bags a hat-trick for Norway

    Erling Haaland continued his dominance on the international stage by scoring a hat-trick against Kosovo, leading Norway to a 3-0 victory. The Manchester City striker showcased his formidable skills at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, opening the scoring in just 15 minutes and adding two more goals in the second half. Out of his four shots on target, three resulted in goals, highlighting his clinical finishing.

    Haaland had a remarkable 2023-24 season with Manchester City, scoring 38 goals across all competitions, including multiple goal-scoring feats. His outstanding form has seamlessly transitioned to international play, as evidenced by his performance against Kosovo. This hat-trick marks his 22nd career hat-trick at only 23 years old, and he has impressively netted 30 international goals in just 32 games for Norway.

    Despite Norway’s failure to qualify for Euro 2024, Haaland’s prowess remains undiminished. He is set to play another friendly match against Denmark on June 8 before taking a summer break. Haaland’s continued excellence promises a bright future, both for his club and country.

    Recall, Manchester City’s goal machine, Erling Haaland, has won back-to-back Premier League Golden Boot awards, joining an elite club in the process.

    After clinching the prestigious prize in his first season in England by netting a record 36 goals in 35 appearances, the Norwegian superstar has now won the award for a second consecutive season, scoring 27 goals in 31 matches. This feat contributed significantly to City securing their fourth successive Premier League title with a 3-1 victory over West Ham on the final day.

    At just 23 years old, Haaland becomes only the seventh player in Premier League history to win the Golden Boot in consecutive seasons. He joins an exclusive group that includes legendary names such as Thierry Henry, Mohamed Salah, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Robin van Persie, and Harry Kane.
