Euro 2024 Qualifiers: Joselu Scores Brace On Debut To Help Spain Beat Norway 3-0 - In Pics

Dani Olmo put Spain ahead in the 13th minute against Norway. But from there on, it was a patient wait for La Roja until Joselu came off the bench. Joselu scored twice in quick succession - 84th and 85th minutes - helping his team seal the deal. It was also manager Luis de la Fuente's first time leading the nation in an international game. Norway, on the other hand, dearly missed their ace striker Erling Haaland, who was out due to a groin injury. Spain, in the process, extended their record of 23 consecutive home wins in qualifying games for the European Championship. They have now won four matches against Norway in their last five meetings. Spain's next match is on Tuesday at Scotland.
