Haaland Fires Norway Closer to World Cup

At Ullevaal Stadium on Saturday, Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick as Norway national football team defeated Israel national football team 5-0.
Having won all six matches, Norway national football team leads Group I by six points over Italy national football team, carrying a goal difference of + 26 with 29 goals scored and three conceded.
After early drama, Erling Haaland missed two penalties saved by Israel goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, while Israel conceded two own goals in the 18th and 28th minutes under pressure.
Haaland's milestone means he moved to 51 goals in 46 matches and leads European qualifying with 12 goals in six games.
They next face Estonia on 13 November and Italy three days later as the group approaches its final rounds, amid pro-Palestinian demonstrations and Lise Klaveness recently pushing `for Israel to be sanctioned`.
