Two goals from Erling Haaland helped Norway all but secure qualification for their first World Cup in 28 years on Thursday night.

The Scandinavian nation increased their lead at the top of Group I to six points with a dominant 4-1 victory over fourth-placed Estonia.

It means the Norwegians' place in the summer's North American World Cup could be confirmed later tonight if Italy fail to beat Moldova. Yet even if the Azzurri are victorious, it's almost impossible they'll overhaul the group leaders' 29 goal-difference with just three games left.

All four of Norway's goals tonight at the national Ullevaal Stadium came during a 10-minute second half blitz.
