Patrick Pedersen (born 25 November 1991) is a Danish footballer who plays as a striker for Viking.
Career
In December 2015, Pedersen signed for Norwegian Tippeligaen side Viking FK.[1]
He got his league debut in Viking's first game of the season away against Vålerenga on March 14th 2016. Viking won the game 0-2.
Pedersen's first goal for Viking was scored on April 13th, in the Norwegian Cup against Vardeneset. The match ended 1-5 to Viking, and Patrick Pedersen scored four of the five goals for Viking. His other cup goal came against Vard Haugesund a few weeks later.
Despite being top-scorer in Iceland, it took quite a while for Pedersen to score his first league goal for Viking. His first goal however, was not only an important one, but also a beautiful goal. Opponent Odd was leading 2-1 with a few seconds left before full time. Then Pedersen, which came in as a substitute, got the ball and shot it right into the top corner. The game was drawn 2-2, and each team got a point. This match was played on July 24th, and ended Pedersen's many months of missing the target.
