Anastasia Kostromina has been told that she looks like Erling Braut Haaland. During the World Cup, she decided to show off the resemblance online.

On Instagram, she posted a video in which she also imitated some of Haaland's well-known mannerisms and characteristic facial expressions.

The video spread quickly and has received 6.4 million likes.

"At first I didn't even understand what was happening. It felt like a dream. At first I didn't understand at all how I could resemble a male football player, but then I started to take it with humor," says Kostromina.

Haaland scored seven goals in the tournament, where Norway was eliminated in the quarter-finals after a 2-1 loss to England.
