Leeds United fans went into meltdown on Monday night as they saw goalscoring sensation Erling Haaland swap shirts with Whites winger Stuart Dallas.
The pair faced each other in Northern Irelands Nations League clash against Norway, where Haaland continued his incredible scoring streak to lead his side to victory.

The Borussia Dortmund hitman has made no secret of his love for Leeds, having been born in the Yorkshire city during his father Alf-Inge Haalands spell at the club.
He has previously said it would be a dream to win the Premier League as a Leeds player, and, while he has yet to face the Elland Road club during his career, he did play against one of their players at Windsor Park.
And he didnt beat around the bush after the full-time whistle, as he went straight to Leeds ace Dallas to ask for his shirt.

Unbelievably, before this pre-season international break Haaland had never scored a goal for his country, but he has certainly put that right in the only way he knows how by netting three in two games.
The striker opened his Norway account with their only goal in a 2-1 defeat to Austria last week, and then spearheaded his nation to a stunning 5-1 win over Northern Ireland on Monday evening, with two goals and an assist.
And both goals were lethal, predatory strikes from the young man, who paid a tribute to his boyhood hero former Swansea striker Michu after the world-class finish for his first of the night.
The Streets Wont Forget is now commonly banded around social media like anyones business; a millennial phrase to highlight the achievements of an unlikely cult hero, a one-season, or even a one-game, wonder.

And Michu perhaps personifies the statement, with the Spaniard going down in Premier League folklore and Swansea history books thanks to his stunning spell with the Welsh side, in which he scored 22 goals across all competitions in his first season and led the Swans to an unlikely League Cup triumph.
And it appears his purple patch came at the perfect time to inspire a young Haaland, who had proudly said on numerous occasions that Michu was one of his favourite players as a lad.
And he paid a fitting tribute to his hero by copying his trademark celebration against Northern Ireland.
