Norway's Viking Row Party After Nervy Win Over Senegal

Norway are through to the knockout stage of the World Cup after a breathless 3-2 victory over Senegal, and the celebrations that followed were as memorable as the result itself. According to Reuters, the Norway players sat on the pitch after the final whistle and performed the famous "rowing" celebration alongside their supporters, a moment of pure joy shared between squad and fans.

Reuters also reports that Alexander Sorloth said Norway can go far at this tournament if they hit their top level consistently, pointing to real belief inside the camp after the victory.

The Guardian adds that Erling Haaland scored twice and was the decisive force, describing him as possessing an "annihilating goal-hunger". The report also notes that a Senegal defender praised Norway as the best European team at the tournament right now, a remarkable compliment that captures how impressive the Norwegians have looked.
