It takes him to 20 goals in 21 games and he is just 14 away from being the top men’s scorer in Norway’s history.

The 21-year-old also set up Norway’s third as Alexander Sorloth made it 3-1.

That came after Emil Forsberg pulled one back with a smart finish from Tottenham forward Dejan Kulusevski’s assist, while Viktor Gyokeres set up a nervy finish with another in the 95th minute.
