Oslo (Reuters) -Alexander Sorloth and Erling Haaland both scored twice as Norway claimed a 4-1 home win over Estonia on Thursday which put them on the brink of qualifying for the World Cup for the first time since 1998.

Norway have all but secured a place at next year's tournament in North America as they hold a six-point lead over second-placed Italy, who play Moldova later on Thursday, in Group I.
