Norway lost 1-0 to Spain last night - and it was not a night to remember for Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb.

Stale Solbakken's side lost thanks to a Gavi goal for the visitors in Oslo.

Norway needed to win to keep their hopes alive. The nation can still qualify for Euro 2024 through the Nations League play-offs.

It was a really one-sided affair, with Spain absolutely dominating the ball throughout.

Norway barely showed anything.

City superstar Erling Haaland again cut a frustrated figure up top.

He did get two goals against Cyprus days prior, but against much better opposition it was another tough outing for the 23-year-old.

But he wasn't the only Norway player who really struggled...

Bobb, 20, was handed a start by Solbakken.

The youngster made his debut off the bench against Cyprus.

But he was given a start against one of the top nations in the world - and in hindsight it was perhaps a mistake.

Norway were really poor as a collective. But Bobb struggled, with Norwegian outlet Nettavisen rating him just 3/10.

They said of him: "Thrown to the Wolves against a Spanish who had the ball very much. Became a match climate that did not suit the dribbling winger very well, losing the ball on a couple of occasions when he tried to put the Norwegian team at ease.

"Accomplished very little before half-time, before showing somewhat better pace just after half-time. Taken off after 57 minutes."

A risk to start Bobb against Spain Bobb is a serious talent.

But it was always going to be a risk from Solbakken playing him against Spain.

It was his first ever start for Norway.

That brings about nerves and pressure.

But hopefully Bobb will not be too disheartened by the experience. The fact he was trusted to play from the start against Spain in a crucial Euro 2024 qualifier clearly shows how Solbakken views him.
