Arsenal and Man City players have traded celebrations this season but this time Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard hit one together.As Norway demolished a lacklustre Italy team 3-0 in World Cup qualifying the pair combined for their nation’s third goal.AFPHaaland and Odegaard celebrated wildly in Oslo[/caption]A strong challenge from Borussia Dortmund star Julian Ryerson on Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali saw the Norwegian counter in midfield.And, with the Azzurri midfield all at sea, Odegaard wandered up the pitch with ease.Alessandro Bastoni, a beaten Champions League finalist last weekend with Inter Milan, was offered an unenviable choice – step up to the Gunner or carry on marking the Citizen.He opted for the former but the playmaker slipped a pass round him with ease, allowing Haaland to side-step Gianluigi Donnarumma and slide the ball home.Easy business for the 24-year-old who now has 41 goals in 42 caps for his nation.And the pair rounded it off by both nonchalantly leaning on the corner flag, a celebration once used by Arsenal icon Thierry Henry.One fan posted on X: “I need a 9:16 photo of that Haaland and Ødegaard celebration by the corner flag. Cold celebration.”It comes at the end of a season where goal celebrations caused plenty of controversy between the Gunners and City.In the two sides’ 2-2 draw at the start of the campaign, Haaland had a run-in with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, telling the Spaniard to ‘Stay humble’.Wonderkid Myles Lewis-Skelly became embroiled in the situation with his Norwegian rival saying: “Who are you?”Haaland wheeled away to the corner flag after scoring against ItalyViaplayViaplayAnd Odegaard joined him to celebrate in a very familiar manner[/caption]Henry was known for his cool celebrations during his France and Arsenal careerGettyView Tweet: https://t.co/9l3etePVw7But the youngster then got revenge, scoring in a 5-1 win and promptly hitting Haaland’s trademark zen yoga pose in front of the adoring Emirates faithful – causing plenty of controversy.Against Italy, though, it was his turn to pinch a celebration.Haaland is clearly an admirer of Henry’s and values his opinion.He asked the French icon for his advice straight after beating Inter Milan to win the Champions League in 2023.Live on CBS, Henry replied: “I said on air that in the box, there is nothing you can learn – what you do is second to none. But… back to the goal, going on to your right sometimes and doing some runs that you don’t want to go… there’s some stuff that you can learn.“But then you [City] are going to the quadruple if you do that! If he starts to go on his right and finishing with his right, the same run he makes on his left, it’s over. He will score 100 goals per week!” Haaland listened and responded: “I agree – don’t forget I’m 22. Think back to when you lot were 22. There’s so much that you are going to learn.“From when I signed from Dortmund to now there’s such a big difference from so many things. From how I think after games, how I think before games, how I motivate myself, how I speak to others.“You get experience through people and on the pitch. I agree – I can develop so much more.”Haaland’s goal in the 3-0 win over Italy followed strikes by former Crystal Palace striker Alexander Sorloth and ex-Brentford transfer target Antonio Nusa.The victory puts them in pole position to qualify automatically for the 2026 World Cup, which is being held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.Italy were playing their first qualification match, while Norway were playing their third, having already Moldova and Israel with ease in Group I.They now sit on nine points, ahead of Israel in second with six points.AFPItaly were well beaten in Norway and may now struggle to qualify for the World Cup automatically[/caption]Italy still have to play seven matches but will have to go some to usurp the Norwegians and may already be facing a dreaded play-off fixture to reach the tournament.That will bring back horrible memories for the Azzurri who are four-time world champions.They missed out on qualifying for the 2022 World Cup as they lost to North Macedonia in the play-offs – despite being reigning European champions after victory at Euro 2020.
