The Borussia Dortmund star will not play at next year’s tournament after defeat against the Oranje condemned his nation to third in Group G
Erling Haaland saw his dream of tournament football dashed for the second successive time after Norway came up short in a 2-0 defeat against the Netherlands in their final game of UEFA qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The Borussia Dortmund striker had hoped to fire his nation to a spot at next year’s showpiece event, having helped Stale Solbakken’s side into a three-way race with the Oranje and Turkey.
However late goals for Steven Bergwijn and Memphis Depay ended Norway’s hopes following a match where they were second-best throughout, with Louis van Gaal’s side taking their place as group winners.
