SOFIA (Reuters) - Norway's Vegard Forren struck early in the second half to earn a 1-0 win over lacklustre Bulgaria in a Euro 2016 qualifier on Thursday to improve their chances of reaching the finals.

Norway remain in third spot in Group H on 13 points but are now only a point behind second-placed Croatia after seven matches. Italy, who beat Malta 1-0, top the standings on 15.
