Manchester City striker Erling Haaland broke Norway’s all-time goalscoring record at the age of 24 in their Nations League win against Slovenia.

He netted his 33rd international goal early in the game to go level with Jorgen Juve, who played in the 1920s and ’30s, and then took the outright record in the second half with his 34th Norway goal.

Haaland, who made his Norway debut in 2019, has only taken 36 games to reach the record mark.

Juve reached the previous record total in his first 27 games. He played at center-back later in his career and ended on 45 caps without adding to his goal tally.

He became a newspaper journalist after retiring from football.
