Erling Haaland's World Cup Debut In Perspective As He's 'Getting Close To Zlatan'

Zlatan Ibrahimović — who earlier said Haaland still had work to do — now praises him as "getting close to Zlatan" and even moved him up his "King of the Jungle" list after Tuesday's game.
Haaland scored twice in Norway's 4-1 win over Iraq in his World Cup debut, earning the tournament's highest FotMob player rating so far (9.17).
He's in red-hot form: long scoring streaks for Norway (including 11 straight competitive games with a goal), led World Cup qualifying with 16 goals, and owns huge club records — including a 36-goal Premier League season and three Golden Boots.
