Summary
Seven goals from Erling Haaland and six from Harry Kane have made the strikers the leading scorers heading into Saturday's England-Norway quarter-final.
Haaland has scored the winner in all four of his World Cup appearances and now has 62 goals in 51 Norway games, underlining how heavily Norway depend on him.
Kane arrives with 85 England goals, 120 caps and recent knockout strikes against DR Congo and Mexico, while also offering more link-up play and one assist at this tournament.
The matchup sharpens a long-running comparison between the two forwards, whose club and international records now frame a World Cup tie with a semi-final place at stake.
