The Norwegian national football team remains unbeaten in the Nations League thanks to Torgarant Erling Haaland.

In the second Scandinavian duel within a week, the team of former Cologne coach Stale Solbakken won Group B4 against Sweden 3-2 (1-0) on the fourth matchday.

In Oslo, Haaland, who will move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City, gave his team the lead with a header (10th).

The 21-year-old scored the second goal in the 54th minute with a hand penalty after the German referee Harm Osmers had decided on a penalty after video evidence.

For Haaland it was the 20th goal in his 21st international match.

Emil Forsberg from DFB Cup winners RB Leipzig scored the goal in the 62nd minute with a right-footed shot in the corner.

Alexander Sörloth (77th), on loan from Leipzig to Real Sociedad San Sebastian, made it 3-1 with a header from Haaland.

Viktor Gyökeres (90+5) scored in the last minute to make it 2-3 for Sweden.

Norway had already won the first leg in Solna, Sweden, 2-1 with two goals from the previous Borussia Dortmund striker.

The team of former Cologne Bundesliga coach Stale Solbakken leads in Group 4 of League B by ten points.

Sweden have only three points after four games and remain penultimate after three defeats.
