Botheim runs riot in eight-minute blitz
Erik Botheim silenced every doubt in eight extraordinary minutes. The striker scored a hat-trick in that spell as Malmö FF demolished Halmstads BK 5–2 in Allsvenskan. It was the Botheim fans remember from two years ago – before the injury that wrecked most of his 2025 season. Fredrik de Ron put it plainly: "When it's in the balance, he steps up and rescues Malmö from a really tricky situation." (1) Your team needed this. After a month without a win and sitting ninth, three points before the break feels like a season reset.
