FULL TIME. Northern Ireland win, and win well - two first-half goals are enough to get them three points and move back up to second in Group C. Thanks for your company this evening.
90'+3
Lund has some space down the left, and lays it back to Norwood on the edge of the box - his shot is blocked. More brave (if painful) work from the Norway backline.
-
Northern Ireland aren't going for goal, though, they're keeping possession and running the clock down.
90'
Hovland and Lafferty have a bit of a face-off down by the corner flag - the referee takes Lafferty's side. Free kick.
89'
Three minutes to be added on here.

Rochdale's Lund comes on for his competitive debut, replacing Dallas.
87'
Chris Brunt falls dramatically on the edge of the box after a challenge from Valsvik, which the referee assesses to be entirely fair.
85'

Here's Lafferty, then, replacing Washington, who deserves a rest after putting in a right shift this evening.
84'
Ooh, and that was a chance - Jarstein came out of his hutch, and McGinn would have scored had he chosen a lob rather than a lash.
83'
Kyle Lafferty is preparing to join the fray.
80'

Jamie Ward gets a rousing ovation as he's replaced by McGinn.
78'
King has really worked hard for Norway this evening for no reward so far. He's still giving it a go.
76'
Free kick to Norway, about 35 yards out, and Nordtveit's low effort is turned away well by McGovern. That was a great save - and a good try.
75'

Johansen, the captain, is substituted, with 19-year-old Berge coming on in his place.
73'
Davis's shot is blocked in there too, and Norway clear and break.
72'
Industrious from Conor Washington as his shot is deflected out for another corner. Brunt to take.
71'
Daehli's looking quite dangerous, though, flashing a ball across the face of goal.
70'
Rowdiness of the crowd increases. They are evidently confident that the points are theirs by this stage.
67'
Norway are certainly putting their bodies on the line - Ward's shot blocked this time after a ball in from Brunt.
66'
Foul on Steven Davis breaks up play in the middle of the park, and Northern Ireland get a free kick just outside the centre circle again.
