Norway got their UEFA Euro 2025 qualifying campaign off to the perfect start with a 4-0 victory over Finland and Celin Bizet opened the scoring with a composed finish in Oslo on Friday evening.
The 22-year-old got the ball rolling in the 24th minute as the ball fell kindly to the midfielder inside the box and she calmly placed a low curing effort into the bottom corner to hand Norway the lead.
Celin would go onto complete 51 minutes at the Ullevaal Stadion, with Sophie Roman Haug, Thea Bjelde and Elisabeth Terland on the scoresheet to secure a comfortable win in their opening game of the group phase.
The Norway international faced two of her Spurs team-mates in the Finland squad, Olga Ahtinen, who played the full 90 minutes, and Eveliina Summanen, who was replaced in the 84th minute by Oona Siren.
The two sides are back in action Tuesday 9 April as Norway travel to Breda to face Netherlands (7.45pm UK) while Finland welcome Italy to the Helsinki Olympic Stadium (5.15pm UK).
