Haaland scores hat-trick as Norway dominate Gibraltar 5-1
Erling Braut Haaland has extended his amazing streak of phenomenal goalscoring form with another hat-trick as Norway dominated Gibraltar in the ongoing World Cup qualifiers.
Kristian Thorstvedt opened the scoring and then provided the assist for Haaland to make it 2-0.
The Norwegians are now second only to Netherlands in Group G due to goal difference alone, as they have the same number of points.
Haaland then got his second before Reece Styche’s lob made it 3-1.
Alexander Sorloth pounced on a loose ball to restore Norway’s three-goal lead in the second half and Haaland tapped in his third in injury time.
Borussia Dortmund striker Haaland now has 11 goals in eight games for club and country so far this season and has already scored two hat-tricks, having got one in his first game of the campaign in a 3-0 win against Wehen Wiesbaden in the German Cup.
