Erling Haaland's World Cup celebration goes viral after Norway knocks Brazil out

Norway beat Brazil by 2-1

Norway have cruised into the Quarter Finals after winning the Round of 16 match against football giants Brazil.

Erling Haaland celebrated Norway's historic World Cup victory over Brazil with a post-match selfie that reportedly amassed one million likes in just one hour.

The selfie broke the internet in which Haaland posted with the caption “Well well well [laughing emoji]”.

Football fans were quick to respond to the post as one fan wrote “beating brazil to the quarterfinals and u get on twitter to rub it in their face omg he’d literally run a kpop stan acc like the navy.”

One user compared the craze to Taylor Swift’s fame saying “1 million likes in 2 hours I ain’t seen that since a Taylor Swift album announcement tweet”.

The Manchester City striker scored twice in the closing stages to secure a stunning 2-0 win over the five-time champion.

His remarkable performance led his country into the quarter-finals for the first time.

Norway will now face England in the next round as the two teams will compete to secure the seat on Semi Finals.
