Norway striker, Erling Haaland, is now the sixth player to score multiple goals in each of his first two FIFA World Cup appearances.
Haaland achieved this feat after scoring a brace in Norway’s 3-2 win against Senegal on Tuesday morning.
The Manchester City star had also scored a brace in Norway’s 4-1 win against Iraq a few days ago.
According to OptaJoe, here is the list of players to score multiple goals in their first two appearances at the World Cup in history:
1930 – Guillermo Stabile (first 3)
1954 – Sándor Kocsis (first 4)
1958 – Just Fontaine
1974 – Grzegorz Lato
2018 – Harry Kane
2026 – Erling Haaland
Haaland will now hope to lead Norway to victory when they face France in their final group game encounter later this week.
