Forgotten former Premier League star stops crazed pitch invader from reaching Erling Haaland during Norway's 5-0 win over Moldova

A forgotten former Premier League star stopped a pitch invader from reaching Erling Haaland during Norway's clash with Moldova.

Norway opened their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 5-0 away win against the middows, with the Manchester City striker scoring.

Borussia Dortymund's Julian Ryerson, Luton's Thelo Aasgaard and Toulouse's Aaron Donnum also got on the scoresheet alongside Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth.

Haaland was brought off in the 78th minute as Norway prepare to face Israel in their second qualifier on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old's presence drew a huge crowd in Moldova and one fan ran on the pitch in a bid to get near him.
