Watch the classy goal of the top scorer in Norway
The former Arsenal striker's strike for Rosenborg could be nominated for goal of the season in the Norwegian Premier League.
Nicklas Bendtner proved he is not done yet, winning the Norwegian Eliteserien Golden Boot. The 29-year-old striker has led Rosenborg's attack this season and has been successful, scoring 19 goals in 30 games, two more than Stabaek's Ohi Omoijuanfo.

The 2017 Eliteserien is the second national championship title Bendtner has won after winning the 2012-2013 Serie A with Juventus.
As well as being named top scorer, Bendtner is also in contention for goal of the year with his strike against Molde, who finished second, seven points behind Rosenborg, in August.
The goal came in the 73rd minute of the match. It was a diagonal outside-footed shot from Bendtner. The ball curled and hit the far top corner, leaving the opposing goalkeeper standing still. The goal brought a 2-1 victory to Rosenborg.
At the national team level, Bendtner scored in the play-off against Ireland, helping Denmark qualify for the 2018 World Cup. If he maintains this form, he will surely have a starting place in the team when Denmark go to Russia next summer.
Bendtner is recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest player to score a goal as a substitute in the Premier League, having scored against Tottenham just six seconds after coming on for Arsenal in 2007.
