Erling Haaland has broken yet another record

Erling Haaland has shattered yet another record.

Slovenia were only able to keep the big Norwegian out for seven minutes on Thursday (10 October) evening. On his weak foot, Haaland was first to the ball - smashing it past Jan Oblak in the Slovenia goal.

It wouldn't take long for Haaland to score again - his 34th goal for Norway, making him the Nordic nation's top goalscorer of all-time, ahead of Jrgen Juve. It has taken Haaland just 36 games to reach the mind-boggling milestone.

"Hes broken that record. Record setter," one fan said. While a second shared: "Does nothing for Norway but hes their all time goal scorer!"

"That's a huge moment for Haaland and his family! Leading Norway and scoring yet another goal to add to his impressive tally this season - he's unstoppable," a third posted. And another added: "A nightmare for defenders. Haaland's dominance knows no bounds!"

Erling Haaland is used to smashing records

Juve's record as Norway's outright all-time leading goalscorer was the longest-standing out of all the 211 FIFA-affiliated nations. His international career spanned from 1927 to 1938 and appeared 45 times for Norway.

He had netted his 33rd international goal in 1934, but then failed to score in his following 18 games. However, Juve did drop back down to a defensive role before he hung up his boots.

Haaland was already ahead of Premier League cult heroes John Carew and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
