Viktor Gyökeres overtakes Erling Haaland to be Nations League top scorer

Associated Press  

STOCKHOLM — Sweden forward Viktor Gyökeres netted four goals Tuesday in a 6-0 rout of Azerbaijan to overtake Erling Haaland as the top scorer in the Nations League. His third goal of the night in the 58th minute — scored only a few seconds after the game restarted following another Swedish goal — took the Sporting Lisbon forward to eight goals in six games in this edition of the Nations League, one more than Haaland. Haaland had been the top scorer ahead of the final evening of games after the Manchester City striker scored seven goals for Norway, including a hat trick in a 5-0 win over Kazakhstan on Sunday. Kulusevski had just scored and Azerbaijan played the ball back to defender Zamig Aliyev from the restart, but Aliyev — making his debut — was put under pressure by Gyökeres and let the ball run loose, leaving an easy finish.
