Erling Braut Haaland is having a terrifying season.
And it’s still only November.
He scored two more goals this Sunday (16), making the difference for Norway to punish Italy and secure their spot in the 2026 World Cup.

He wasn’t even born when Tore André Flo punished Brazil in the 1998 World Cup, the last one for his country.
The 25-year-old striker is going through an impressive phase with his national team: he has scored 16 goals just in these Qualifiers, numbers built since March.
He celebrated at least one goal in EVERY one of the eight matches.
Memphis Depay (Netherlands), Arnautovic (Austria), and Harry Kane (England) finished as runners-up in the scoring charts after scoring half as many goals as the Comet.

Haaland also matched Lewandowski’s record, who celebrated sixteen times in the Qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup.
Adding club and country, he reached the mark of 31 goals in the season in 19 matches, considering games played since August.
An average of 1.6 goals per game.
He scored 12 goals for Norway in just four matches and 19 for Manchester City in 15 matches.
He only failed to score twice: in the defeats to Tottenham (2-0) and Aston Villa (1-0).
Haaland is still the isolated top scorer of the Premier League, with 14 goals. Six ahead of the Brazilian Igor Thiago.
