Erling Haaland delivered a sensational hat-trick in Norway’s 5–0 win over Israel in World Cup qualifying, turning a shaky start into a statement performance.

The striker missed two early penalties—one saved twice after a VAR-ordered retake—but shook off the frustration and took control of the match. He scored:

27th minute: Calm finish after a through ball.

63rd minute: Header marking his 50th international goal.

72nd minute: Another header to complete his hat-trick.

With the treble, Haaland now sits on 51 goals in just 46 caps. His presence also contributed to two Israeli own goals, as the defense struggled to contain him.

Norway’s dominant win keeps them unbeaten in their qualifying group, and Haaland’s performance—despite the penalty drama reinforced his status as their key talisman.

Now some fans have been asking this question of recent "can he match Cristiano Ronaldo's goalscoring record ?". I guess time will tell
