Erling Haaland has moved level with Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi in the race for the Golden Boot at the 2026 World Cup.
The superstars are delivering on the biggest stage of them all and are setting a blistering pace in the race to be the tournament’s top goalscorer in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
Haaland led Norway into the quarter-finals for the first time and boosted his position in the goalscorer standings by scoring twice to send Brazil home. He now shares top spot with Mbappe and Messi on seven in the scoring charts.
Meanwhile, England captain Harry Kane is the next best with six goals after his penalty helped his side edge co-hosts Mexico 3-2 to set up a last-eight clash with Norway.
Miroslav Klose started the tournament out in front on the all-time World Cup goalscoring chart with 16 goals, but both Messi and Mbappe have overtaken the ex-Germany striker.
