Martin Odegaard helped Norway to a stunning 3-0 victory against Italy in a World Cup qualifier in Oslo.
The Norwegian captain provided an inch-perfect through ball for Erling Haaland, who rounded Gianluigi Donnarumma to make it 3-0 on the night.
All three goals came inside 42 minutes as Alexander Sorloth opening the scoring before Antonio Nusa's thunderous strike doubled the lead for Stale Solbakken's side.
The result leaves Odegaard's Norway top of Group I, with three wins from three games.
Elsewhere in World Cup qualifying, Leandro Trossard was an unused substitute as Belgium drew 1-1 with North Macedonia in Skopje. Maxim De Cuyper gave the Belgian's the lead but Ezgjan Alioski levelled for the hosts with four minutes to play. The Red Devils host group leaders Wales in their second World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
Jakub Kiwior played the full 90 minutes in Poland's 2-0 friendly win against Moldova.
Making his 33rd appearance for his country, Jakub ensured Poland kept a third clean sheet of 2025 ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Finland in Helsinki next week.
Kieran Tierney won his 50th cap for Scotland but it was a night to forget for the Scots, losing 3-1 at home to Iceland.
Starting the match as part of a back five, Kieran played 68 minutes of the friendly at Hampden Park before being replaced by Lennon Miller. Andri Gudjohnsen, Victor Palsson and a Lewis Ferguson own goal gave the visitors a first ever win over Scotland.
