“I want to score a lot of goals”

“I’m hungry and I want to score a lot of goals,” Gyokeres said. “I feel like I’m in good shape. I’m often in the right place and I try to finish in the area.”

“We needed to win by a certain goal difference and we did. It was a good night. It’s fun to score so many goals.”

Haaland was already the top scorer in the Nations League going into the final evening of games.

The Manchester City striker had netted his seventh goal for Norway, which included a hat trick in their 5-0 win over Kazakhstan on Sunday.
