Erling Haaland has celebrated becoming Norway’s all-time leading goalscorer by announcing that he and girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen are expecting their first child.

The Manchester City striker scored his 33rd and 34th goals for the national team in a 3-0 win over Slovenia on Thursday night.

That saw him move past the late Jorgen Juve on Norway’s all-time goalscoring charts, on a night when he was also the first team skipper for the first time. Haaland completed the feat in just 36 games.

But the star man’s night of celebrations was not complete as he revealed that he and Johansen are expecting a baby.

Haaland was snapped after the game with the ball under his shirt and his thumb in his mouth to show that he is soon to be a father. She posted the image on Instagram and it had baby and “coming soon” emojis on it.

On breaking Juve’s 87-year-old record, Haaland said: “Of course it’s big and historic. I’m happy, and it’s a fantastic record to achieve… I have many years left. I’m enjoying it.’

He added: “It was a well-executed game. I’m proud. It’s a record that’s been around for a long time… I felt good. It’s been a long time since I’ve had this much energy on the field.”
