Bendtner, 29, told Norway's after his half-hour cameo: "It was good to get an assist at the end.

"We were a bit under pressure, but we did what we had to do and punished them.

"It was good to start the season with a win."

Bendtner, a Serie A winner with Juventus, won the DFB Pokal and DFL Supercup with Wolfsburg.

And he must hope he can put his indifferent spells in England further behind when the Norway League starts on Sunday at home to Odd.
