Erling Haaland took his international tally to 18 goals in 19 appearances by scoring twice in Norway’s 2-1 win away to Sweden.
Three days after netting the only goal in a 1-0 win over Serbia, Haaland helped Norway maintain their 100% record in UEFA Nations League Group B4.
Haaland opened the scoring at Stockholm’s Friends Arena from the penalty spot on 20 minutes, after Emil Krafth had fouled Morten Thorsby.
Manchester City’s summer signing scored the second goal with his weaker right foot, latching onto an Alexander Soerloth flick-on before drilling home a precise low shot.
