Haaland: We were expected to win, and we did

Norway's national team striker Erling Haaland shared his thoughts on the team's 4-1 victory over Iraq in their opening Group I World Cup qualifier. Haaland was instrumental, bagging two goals in the match.

"My first goal was good, and the second one even better, so it's fantastic, and I'm proud of everyone after such a strong start. However, we know the upcoming matches will be even tougher, and we'll need to play even better," Haaland stated.

"We were expected to win, and thankfully, we did. Now everyone in Norway will be happy, and I hope they celebrate!" added the Scandinavian star.

Norway's next fixture sees them face Senegal on June 23rd.
