Lyndon Dykes and Kenny McLean both struck late goals as Scotland came back from going a goal down to Erling Haaland's penalty to snatch a 2-1 win over Norway in their Group A European Championship 2024 qualifier on Saturday.
With Cyprus set to face Georgia in the five-team group later in the evening, the win moved the Scots to nine points at the top of the group, six ahead of second-placed Spain who have played a game less. Norway are fourth on one point.

Despite dominating possession, Norway struggled to create many decent chances but eventually Haaland, who won the Champions League last week with Manchester City, came to the rescue as he was bundled over in the box by Ryan Porteous.
The giant Norwegian got up, dusted himself off and fired the ball home low to the goalkeeper's right in the 61st minute to prompt wild celebrations in the Ullevaal Stadium.
With that goal looking to have set his side on the road to victory, Haaland was withdrawn by coach Stale Solbakken in the 84th minute, and it was to prove to be a costly mistake.
A defensive error by Leo Ostigard allowed striker Dykes to poke home the equaliser three minutes before the end of normal time, and he then teed up substitute McLean to score the winner two minutes later as Scotland secured an unlikely win that silenced the home crowd.
Usman Khawaja's day as he and Alex Carey lead Australia fightback
Australia 311 for 5 (Khawaja 126*, Carey 52*, Head 50) trail England 393 for 8 declared by 82 runs
Khawaja was the nearly man of Australian cricket for much of his career, playing 93 times for his country before his 34th birthday without ever feeling like a permanent fixture in the side. His technique and temperament were called into question, and after three years out of international cricket, it seemed he had served his time.
But in the Birmingham sunshine, Khawaja cut Ben Stokes for four and raced down the pitch to celebrate his seventh Test hundred since his recall 18 months ago. Since the start of 2023, he has scored hundreds in Australia, India and now, for the first time in his career, England.
On a slow, dry pitch, Khawaja and Australia scored at a different tempo to the one England had set on the first day. They scored at barely two-thirds of the rate of England's first innings, yet with Khawaja's innings - littered with crisp pulls and handsome drives - ensured that they trailed by only 82 at stumps.
It was the 15th time that Broad had dismissed Warner, but he celebrated as though it was the first, racing away towards the Hollies Stand with his fists clenched so hard that the veins in his neck throbbed. As Marnus Labuschagne asked a policeman to move from his perch next to the sightscreen, Broad sensed something was brewing.
Raising his hand and whirling his finger, he geed up the crowd at the top of his mark. Coming from wide on the crease, he angled an outswinger into him, and Labuschagne could not resist driving away from his body. Jonny Bairstow tumbled low to his right, taking the catch one-handed, and Australia were 29 for 2.
His first delivery was a front-foot no-ball, perhaps striving to prove his fitness despite a chronic knee issue, but the last ball of his second over skidded into Smith's pad. Marais Erasmus eventually gave Smith out after Stokes pleaded for the decision, and the DRS could not save him: ball-tracking predicted the ball would have hit the top of the stumps.
Khawaja took 106 balls to reach his half-century, while Head got there in 60, cutting an out-of-sorts Ollie Robinson away behind square. He didn't score another run, skipping down the pitch and miscuing Moeen to short midwicket; Moeen pointed to Stokes at mid-off as he turned away in celebration.
Moeen should have had two wickets in three balls, beating Cameron Green as he charged out of his crease. Instead, an unsighted Bairstow missed the stumping chance and Green added 72 with Khawaja for the fifth wicket in a stand that spanned the tea interval.
The best ball of the day accounted for Green on 38, as Moeen flighted an offbreak wide outside off. It drifted away a touch, then spun back sharply from a good length to beat Green - lunging forwards as though stepping on an insect - on the inside edge and peg back his leg stump.
But the third umpire noticed that Broad had overstepped, and he survived until the close once again. The crowd had started to filter out by the time he walked off with a beaming smile, at the end of a day that will be remembered as Usman Khawaja's.

Ole Miss flips reclassifying Gators QB Simmons
Ole Miss continued to stock its quarterback room this offseason when quarterback Austin Simmons announced he was flipping his commitment from Florida to the Rebels.
Simmons was the No. 77-ranked prospect in the 2025 class, but said Saturday that he's reclassifying to the 2023 class to enroll at Ole Miss this summer.
A 6-foot-2, 190-pound recruit out of Moore Haven, Florida, Simmons had been committed to the Gators since April, but flipped and is now joining a newly rebuilt quarterback room. Coach Lane Kiffin added Oklahoma State quarterback transfer Spencer Sanders and LSU transfer Walker Howard to compete with last season's starter Jaxson Dart.
The Rebels didn't have the passing attack the staff was hoping for last season with Dart, who transferred in from USC and threw for 2,974 yards with 20 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Backup Luke Altmyer threw for 125 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and has since transferred to Illinois.
The Ole Miss staff did not sign a high school quarterback in the 2023 class, and while it is unusual to see a prospect reclassify back two classes, Simmons will be able to enroll this summer and will be able to compete with the other quarterbacks this fall.
His decommitment from Florida obviously will impact the 2025 class, but the Gators will have time to fill that spot. The coaches lost a commitment from Jaden Rashada in the 2023 class, but they still have ESPN 300 quarterback D.J. Lagway committed in 2024.
Lagway is the No. 14 recruit overall and a five-star prospect in the 2024 cycle.
Power shoves Dixon after IndyCar practice crash
ELKHART LAKE, Wis. -- Reigning IndyCar champion Will Power shoved Scott Dixon after the two were involved in a crash Saturday that severely damaged both cars during practice at Road America.
Dixon, the six-time IndyCar champion, had spun on course and reentered the track ahead of Romain Grosjean and Power. Dixon allowed enough room for Grosjean to get by, but as Power approached, the gap closed and Power couldn't avoid hitting Dixon.
The two cars spun off course and Power slammed into a concrete wall. Both cars were extremely damaged, with only three hours to rebuild them ahead of qualifying.
Power then got out of his car, exchanged words with Dixon and shoved him in the chest. Power later kicked the air in frustration.

"Scott moved abruptly and I was coming," Power said. "It's a very unfortunate incident. Nothing I could really do there. Didn't expect him to move. Such a pity. I felt like we had a pretty good car. We'll rebuild it and see what happens."
Dixon acknowledged he was at fault.
"Didn't realize Power was even there," Dixon said. "I'm really sorry for him and obviously his team. Mistake on my behalf. I feel frustrated for obviously wrecking our car and his car as well."
Marlins put Segura on IL, give Amaya first call-up
The Miami Marlins placed third baseman Jean Segura on the 10-day injured list and called up prospect Jacob Amaya on Saturday.
Segura, 33, has a left hamstring strain. He is batting .190 with one home run and 11 RBIs in 60 games during his first season with the Marlins.
The two-time All-Star is a career .281 hitter with 108 home runs and 503 RBIs in 1,388 games with six teams over 12 seasons.
Amaya, 24, is batting .278 with nine home runs and 35 RBIs in 58 games this season at Triple-A Jacksonville. He has yet to make his major league debut but was not in the starting lineup for Saturday afternoon's game at the Washington Nationals.
Miami acquired the shortstop from the Dodgers in a Jan. 11 trade that sent infielder Miguel Rojas to Los Angeles.

Nottingham Open 2023: Katie Boulter beats Heather Watson to reach first WTA final
Katie Boulter beat fellow Briton Heather Watson to reach the Nottingham Open final - her first WTA final.
British number one Boulter won 6-4 7-5 in a rain-affected semi-final at the Nottingham Tennis Centre on Saturday.
It could be an all-British final as Jodie Burrage plays France's Alize Cornet in the second semi-final.
In the men's competition, Andy Murray is looking to win back-to-back grass-court tournaments and faces Portugal's Nuno Borges in the semi-final.
"I've worked so hard for this and I'm just going to keep plugging away," said 26-year-old Boulter. "Even if it's not my time, it's been a great week for me and I will keep working hard.
"It means so much to me, especially here. It was a really tough match and I just tried to put my heart on the line and managed to get through in the end.
"She [Watson] is an incredible player and I knew it would be a battle. I have so much time for her, she is an amazing girl."
It has been a fantastic tournament for the British players with four women reaching the quarter-finals, the first time this has happened in the 50-year history of the WTA.
This was the first all-British WTA semi-final since Sue Barker beat Virginia Wade in Boston, USA in March 1979.
Watson, 31, has won four WTA titles in her career but none of them on grass and none of them in the United Kingdom, with her last WTA title being at the Mexican Open in February 2020.
Boulter could not take a break-point chance in the opening game of the match, but did then break Watson's serve in the fifth game in the last point before a 90-minute rain delay.
When play resumed, Watson immediately got the first set back on serve, only for Boulter, impressing with her powerful forehand shots, to regain the advantage in the ninth game before serving out the set.
Watson led 3-0 in the second set, but Boulter fought back to win seven of the next nine games to move into the final.
Boulter became British number one for the first time earlier this week, replacing the injured Emma Raducanu, and will retain her position when the rankings are updated on Monday, unless Burrage wins the title.
West Virginia's Huggins arrested on DUI charge
West Virginia men's basketball coach Bob Huggins was arrested Friday night on a charge of driving under the influence, potentially putting his future with the program in jeopardy with a second controversy in the past six weeks.
"We are gathering more information and will take appropriate action once the review is complete," the school said in a statement Saturday.
According to a report from a Pittsburgh Police public information officer, police observed a black SUV blocking traffic just before 8:30 p.m. Friday. The vehicle had a "flat and shredded tire" and the driver's side door was open.
After directing the driver -- identified as Robert Huggins, 69, of Morgantown, West Virginia -- to move the vehicle off the road, officers observed Huggins having trouble maneuvering the SUV and pulled him over. The officers questioned Huggins and, believing he was intoxicated, asked him to perform field sobriety tests, which he failed.
Huggins was arrested and charged with DUI. He was later released, with a preliminary hearing set for a later date.
There already were signs that the 2023-24 season loomed as the final one for Huggins. Along with a $1 million salary reduction and suspension in the aftermath of his use of an anti-gay slur on a Cincinnati radio station, Huggins was essentially given a contract that is guaranteed for only a year, a rarity in college sports.
The contractual amendment was essentially a signal that West Virginia officials controlled Huggins' future and could ease into a transition to the next staff without worrying about owing him a significant amount of money.
Huggins' arrest will put pressure on West Virginia officials, who said they were outraged by his comments and had to fight internally to keep him on for next season amid public pressure.
In a joint statement after Huggins' radio comments, president Gordon Gee and athletic director Wren Baker called the slurs "inexcusable" and said the comments "tarnished West Virginia University."
Huggins, a Morgantown native who played for the Mountaineers in college, has coached at his alma mater since 2007 and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022. He has guided the Mountaineers to 11 NCAA tournament appearances, including a Final Four in 2010. Huggins spent one season at Kansas State after leading Cincinnati to 14 straight NCAA tournament appearances from 1992 to 2005.
Huggins was convicted of drunken driving in 2004 while at Cincinnati after pleading no contest. That led to a standoff with then-university president Nancy Zimpher that ultimately resulted in Huggins resigning as Bearcats coach.
Julian Nagelsmann will not become the next Paris Saint-Germain manager after talks between the two parties broke down, sources have told ESPN.
The French champions have now turned attentions away from Nagelsmann, sources have told ESPN, narrowing their shortlist to four candidates: Luis Enrique, Sergio Conceicao, Marcelo Gallardo and Thiago Motta.

Porto manager Conceicao has been contacted by the club, while former Barcelona and Spain coach Enrique has has some strong support from club officials in Doha.
The club are also interested former players Gallardo, who now coaches Argentine side River Plate, and Motta, who is in charge at Serie A side Bologna.
Whoever takes over at PSG will enter during a turbulent time at the club that has seen Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos leave, as well as Kylian Mbappe confirming on Monday that he intends to leave on a free transfer next summer. ESPN reported last month that Neymar is also open to a move away from the French capital.
PSG lifted the Ligue 1 title for a record-breaking 11th time, but a disappointing round-of-16 exit from the Champions League saw manager Christophe Galtier sacked after just one season in charge.
