Norway stormed six points clear at the top of their World Cup qualifying group with an extraordinary 11-1 thrashing of Moldova in Oslo.
Erling Haaland was unstoppable, scoring five goals to move top of the 2026 qualifiers’ scoring charts.
Martin Ødegaard ran the show from midfield, assisting twice and adding a goal of his own, while Thelonious Aasgaard came off the bench to net four times in just over half an hour.
Felix Myhre also got on the scoresheet, though Leo Østigård’s own goal denied goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland a clean sheet.
Moldova, who set up with six defenders, were powerless to resist as Norway ran riot.
The result extends Moldova’s miserable away record in World Cup qualifying to 30 defeats in 35 games, while Norway edge closer to a first finals appearance this century.
