FULL TIME: Kazakhstan 0-0 Norway. The Premier League: the best league in the world! The Premier League: not as good as the Kazakhstan national football team! It’d long been suspected, but now conclusive proof is in. Erling Haaland has scored seven goals in his first three matches this season for Manchester City, but tonight the big man played all 90 minutes for Norway in Almaty yet didn’t get a single shot on target. QED. Ipswich Town and West Ham United want to have a long think.
