Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has led Molde to their first ever league title - at his first attempt.

A 2-2 draw with Stromsgodset coupled with Rosenborg's home defeat to Brann, put Solskjaer's side seven points clear with just two games remaining.

Solskjaer took over as manager at Molde in January 2011 following a successful stint as reserve team coach at United but suffered a rocky start on his return to Norway.

Molde lost his first league game to promoted Sarpsborg 08, before draws against Tromso and Viking left his side with just two points from a possible nine.

Solskjaer, famed for his ability to come off the bench and change a game as he did when he scored in stoppage time to secure United's dramatic Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich in 1999, turned the team's fortunes around.

Victory at rivals Tromso on October 2 put Molde in pole position in the title race and draws against Odd Grenland, Stabaek and Stromsgodset secured the trophy.
