Haaland: "I'm getting tired of my own name"

In Larnaca, Erling Haaland scored his fifth and sixth goals of the qualifying campaign. Alexander Sorloth and Fredrik Aursnes also struck as Norway crushed Cyprus 4-0. Spain stayed second in the group, three points behind Scotland and two ahead of Norway with a game in hand on both.

The Manchester City striker was interviewed on 'TV2' after the international match and admitted that he is "getting tired" of the expectations placed on him.

"Of course, I greatly appreciate the support. That's what I wanted to do when I was little, so I'm not particularly complaining about it. I'm starting to get a little tired of my own name, but that's how it is. There is not much I can do about it," he said.

He went on to add: "It was an important victory, and now we have to start thinking about Spain. We all put up a good fight. Now we just have to get home to Oslo and settle in well. We know Spain are a good team. We must do our best and all of Norway must support us".
