Erling Haaland nets winner in each of Norway's four World Cup matches

Erling Haaland, the Manchester City forward, has emerged as Norway's most lethal weapon at the 2026 World Cup. His winning goals in each of the four group‑stage matches propelled Norway past every opponent and secured a place in the quarter‑finals.

Coach Ståle Solbakken chose to rest Haaland in the last group game to preserve his sharpness for the knockout round. The striker's record underscores the threat he poses to elite teams such as England in the upcoming stages.
