Norway made light work of Kazakhstan as Erling Haaland’s hat-trick inspired them to a 5-0 victory in the Nations League on Sunday.

Without absent captain Martin Odegaard, Norway were skippered by Haaland at Ullevaal Stadion, where the Manchester City forward netted his 25th career hat-trick.

Haaland took his total of international goals to 38 in 39 appearances by scoring twice in the first half before rounding off his star turn in the 71st minute.

The 24-year-old now has 22 goals in all competitions for club and country this season, and is the leading scorer in the Nations League with seven strikes to his name.

Alexander Sorloth scored Norway’s third goal, while Antonio Nusa, who was heavily involved in both of Haaland’s first-half efforts, got in on the act in the 76th minute.

Norway’s victory ensured they finished top of Group B3 on 13 points, two ahead of Austria, therefore promoting Stale Solbakken’s team to League A.
