Season events
[edit]Pre-season
[edit]Bjarne Berntsen left his position as manager after the 2020 season, being replaced by Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen, who took over as joint managers on 1 January 2021.[2][3]
In March 2021, Stig Christiansen was reinstated as chairman of the club, a position he also held between 2017 and 2020.[4]
On 11 March 2021, the 2021 Eliteserien season, that was due to start on 5 April, was postponed by one month due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway.[5] On 31 March, the new start date for the league was announced to be 8 May 2021.[6]
On 15 March, Viking confirmed the signing of forward Mai Traore from Vasalunds IF. Traore joined the team on 2 August 2021.[7] Viking also signed winger Kevin Kabran and left-back Shayne Pattynama ahead of the season.[8][9] On 7 May 2021, fan favourite Zlatko Tripić returned to the club, after one year with Turkish side Göztepe.[10][11]
May
[edit]Viking started the Eliteserien season with a 3–1 home win against Brann on 9 May 2021,[12] before losing 5–0 to Rosenborg at Lerkendal Stadion four days later.[13] The bad result against Rosenborg was followed by another loss, this time against newly promoted Tromsø on 16 May 2021. Viking lost the match 1–0.[14] Viking managed to bounce back in the next game, winning 3–1 away from home against Lillestrøm, in a game where Zlatko Tripić scored his first goal after his return to the club.[15] The next match also resulted in a victory, 2–1 over Mjøndalen on 27 May 2021.[16] Three days later, Viking travelled to Rogaland rivals Haugesund with confidence after two back-to-back wins, but the winning streak came to an end, as Haugesund won the match 4–2.[17][18]
June
[edit]Viking returned to winning ways in the following game, defeating Vålerenga 4–1 on 13 June 2021. Veton Berisha played a central role in the victory, scoring two of the goals and providing two assists.[19] Viking then suffered a 3–0 loss to 16th-placed Sandefjord on 19 June 2021, before defeating Sarpsborg 08 2–1 six days later.[20][21] The following game resulted in the club's first draw of the season, 3–3 at home to Stabæk on 30 June 2021.[22]
July
[edit]Three days later, Viking drew 2–2 against reigning league champions Bodø/Glimt at Aspmyra Stadion. Veton Berisha scored both of the goals for Viking.[23] On 10 July 2021, Viking drew their third game in a row, 1–1 against Strømsgodset, after a late equalizer by Zlatko Tripić.[24] One week later, Viking lost 3–2 away to Odd. The goalscorers for Viking were Harald Nilsen Tangen and Veton Berisha.[25] On 25 July 2021, Viking won 3–2 against Staal Jørpeland in the first round of the 2021 Norwegian Cup. Former Viking player Even Østensen scored the goals for Staal Jørpeland.[26]
August
[edit]On 1 August 2021, Viking defeated Djerv 1919 2–0 in the second round of the Norwegian Cup. Veton Berisha scored a brace which secured the victory for Viking.[27] On 8 August 2021, Viking won 3–2 against Kristiansund. Two of the goals were scored by Zlatko Tripić, while Sebastian Sebulonsen scored one goal.[28] The next day, Viking confirmed the signing of Gianni Stensness from Australian club Central Coast Mariners.[29] On 11 August, Viking signed David Brekalo from Slovenian club Bravo.[30] On 15 August, Viking won 3–2 against top-of-the-league Molde. Viking were 2–0 down after the first half, but managed to turn it around in the second half, after goals from Kevin Kabran, Zlatko Tripić and David Brekalo.[31] Viking drew the next game 1–1 against Vålerenga in Oslo, before defeating Rosenborg 2–1 at home on 29 August.[32][33] The next day, Viking confirmed the signing of Patrik Gunnarsson on loan from Brentford.[34] The same day, Henrik Heggheim was sold to Danish club Brøndby.[35]
September
[edit]Following four unbeaten league games in August, Viking continued their unbeaten run on 11 September, beating Stabæk 3–1 at Nadderud Stadion.[36] Viking's unbeaten run came to an end eight days later, after losing 3–1 to Bodø/Glimt.[37] The third round of the cup was played on 22 September against Rosenborg. The match ended 3–1 in favour of Viking.[38] The following fixture resulted in a 2–2 draw to Molde on 26 September — the first time Viking managed to get a point at Aker Stadion in five years.[39]
October
[edit]On 2 October, Viking defeated Sandefjord 2–1 in front of 14,105 spectators. Viking had to play the majority of the match with ten men, after goalkeeper Patrik Gunnarsson received a red card after 18 minutes.[40] Viking followed up the Sandefjord win with another three points, this time against Strømsgodset at Marienlyst Stadion. Kristoffer Løkberg scored the only goal of the game.[41] On 23 October, Viking won 5–1 against Lillestrøm. Veton Berisha scored a hat-trick, while Harald Nilsen Tangen and Sebastian Sebulonsen scored one each.[42] The following game resulted in a 2–0 win away to Brann at Brann Stadion, a game that was characterised by heavy rain and bad playing conditions.[43] October was concluded with a 2–1 loss at home to Sarpsborg 08, ending a streak of four wins in a row.[44]
November
[edit]The first match in November was against Mjøndalen on 7 November. Viking won 1–0 after Veton Berisha converted a penalty in added time.[45] On 20 November, Viking drew 1–1 at home to Haugesund. Veton Berisha scored Viking's goal, his 20th league goal of the season.[46] Viking won the next match 3–2 against Kristiansund on 28 November. Two late goals from Veton Berisha and Sondre Bjørshol gave Viking the win.[47]
December
[edit]The last home match of the season was against Odd on 5 December. Viking won 3–1 and secured a top-three finish in the league for the first time since 2007.[48] The Eliteserien season was concluded with a 2–0 win against Tromsø on 12 December. Viking received their bronze medals after the match.[49] Third place also granted the club a spot in the qualification stage of the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League.[50]
