<p>Norway were trounced 5-1 by Austria in the Nations League on Sunday in an embarrassing evening for Haaland his team-mates. Stale Solbakken's side had made an unbeaten start in the competition but were outclassed by their opponents at Raiffeisen Arena, conceding four goals in the second half. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Haaland had a night to forget, as his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erling-haaland-suffers-nightmare-norway-striker-woeful-stats-5-1-humiliation-austria/bltc84157d8e8911bcc" target="_blank">individual stats from the match prove</a>. The City star again served as Norway's captain in the absence of Martin Odegaard, but this one didn't go as well as his previous outing with the armband - a 3-0 win against Slovenia in which he scored a brace <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erling-haaland-man-city-striker-norway-joint-all-time-top-scorer-slovenia/bltde897ff772fbed75" target="_blank">to become Norway's all-time leading goalscorer</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>"Sorry everyone, this was far too bad on my part," Haaland wrote on Instagram after the defeat. "In November, we go for six points." </p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte3c2514dcb41d349/462776412_18379779901098222_6702853537124514100_n.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte3c2514dcb41d349/462776412_18379779901098222_6702853537124514100_n.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte3c2514dcb41d349/462776412_18379779901098222_6702853537124514100_n.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Erling Haaland IG" data-source="IG (@erling)" data-copyright="IG (@erling)" data-portal-copyright="IG (@erling)" perform:prop="uuid:blte3c2514dcb41d349;width:1320;height:2346"></picture><p></p>

WHAT HAALAND SAID

<p>The 24-year-old, who also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/it-is-a-disgrace-pundit-takes-aim-at-manchester-city-ace-erling-haaland-after-norway-debacle-against-austria/blt33eca3a3b82d1a08" target="_blank">received criticism for his behaviour after the match</a>, is eyeing six points when Norway face Slovenia and Kazakhstan in next month's international window. Before then, he'll hope to maintain Manchester City's unbeaten start to the season, with a trip to Wolves to come on Sunday.</p>
