Erling Haaland's Premier League debut - which saw him nab both goals in Manchester City's 2-0 win at West Ham - has been hailed by pundits and famous fans on Twitter.

The Norwegian scored in each half, including a 35th minute penalty, to help the Citizens begin their defence of the title in the right fashion. 

And the 22-year-old's arrival on the English stage has already won plaudits from some of the most famous names in football.
