Thu Oct 10 20:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Haaland Breaks Norwegian Record with Brace Against Slovenia

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has etched his name in Norwegian football history, becoming the country’s all-time leading goalscorer with a brace in their Nations League clash against Slovenia.

Haaland’s first goal came in the seventh minute, pouncing on a rebound after a superb save from Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak. He then added his second goal just after the hour mark, finishing with his left foot to seal a 3-1 victory for Norway.

Haaland’s achievement surpasses the previous record held by Jorgen Juve, who scored his last goal for Norway in 1934. The 24-year-old reached the milestone in just 36 appearances, a remarkable feat considering Juve’s record stood for nearly 90 years.

This latest record follows a string of impressive milestones for Haaland this season, including breaking the record for most goals scored in the first three games of a Premier League season and becoming the fastest player to reach ten Premier League goals.

With his remarkable scoring prowess, Haaland continues to rewrite the record books, solidifying his status as one of the most prolific strikers in the world.
