Norway's head coach Stale Solbakken said Erling Haaland asked to be substituted against Scotland because he had 'run out of steam'.
Manchester City's talisman had spent the first part of this week celebrating the Blues' historic Treble following the victory over Inter Milan in Istanbul. However, he rejoined his international teammates ahead of their Euro 2024 qualifier against Scotland.
While England manager Gareth Southgate opted to only play Phil Foden off the bench on Friday night, Solbakken chose to start Haaland for the crucial match. After a slow first 45, Haaland scored from the penalty spot just after the hour mark to give the hosts the lead.
