Haaland ends goal drought as Norway beat Wales 3-1

Erling Haaland ended his scoring drought for Norway, netting the third goal in his country’s 3-1 win over Wales in Oslo on Saturday in the Nations League. The victory gave Norway their second win in Group A4.

Antonio Nusa opened the scoring for Norway in the 59th minute after Wales’ defence failed to clear a corner properly. Haaland set up the second goal for Andreas Schjelderup, who finished into the net, before David Brooks pulled one back with a chipped shot over the goalkeeper.

Haaland’s goal came from the penalty spot in the 85th minute, after Connor Roberts fouled Schjelderup; the decision was upheld following a VAR review. The striker took his tally for Norway to 66 goals in 60 appearances, extending his national team record.
