Erling Haaland Golden Boot: Erling Haaland has done it again. The prolific Norwegian striker secured the Premier League Golden Boot for the second consecutive season.
Haaland’s 27-goal haul this season not only outpaced Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, who netted 22 times, but also underscored his remarkable consistency and finishing prowess.
Haaland’s achievement comes on the heels of a record-breaking debut season, where he stunned the football world with 36 goals.
At just 23 years old, he becomes only the fifth player to win the Golden Boot outright in back-to-back seasons, joining an elite group of football legends.

Expressing his gratitude, Haaland said, “Winning the Golden Boot again is very special for me. I’m so proud to contribute to this incredible team and my amazing teammates.
I owe this to all my teammates, the coaches, and the staff who work tirelessly. And of course, a big thank you to the fans who support me and celebrate each goal with me.”
Haaland’s journey at Manchester City has been nothing short of spectacular. In his first two seasons, he has helped the team claim six major honours, including back-to-back Premier League titles, contributing to City’s unprecedented run of four consecutive league titles.
His scoring spree this season included memorable hat-tricks against Fulham and Wolves and crucial goals against top teams like Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United, and Chelsea.
In addition to his Golden Boot, Haaland has also been nominated for both the Premier League Player and Young Player of the Season awards. This follows his dual victory in the same categories last season, cementing his reputation as a dominant force in English football.
Haaland’s accolades also extend internationally, having won the Best Men’s Player at the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards and finishing second in the Ballon d’Or voting.
Haaland’s stats are staggering. He has amassed 90 goals in 96 games across all competitions for Pep Guardiola’s side, with 38 goals this season alone. He holds the record as the fastest player to reach 60 Premier League goals, achieving this feat in just 63 matches.
Moreover, his six Premier League hat-tricks place him among an elite group of players who have scored more in the division’s history.
Last season, Haaland’s 36-goal tally set a new benchmark for the most goals in a single Premier League season. He also shattered the English club record for most goals in all competitions with an impressive 52 strikes.
As Haaland and Manchester City gear up for the FA Cup final against Manchester United at Wembley, the striker has the opportunity to add to his goal tally and help City aim for a historic double – successive Premier League and FA Cup titles.
His journey at City has been filled with record-breaking performances and individual accolades, making him a cornerstone of Guardiola’s formidable squad.
Congratulations to Erling Haaland on another extraordinary achievement.
His incredible first two seasons in the Premier League have left an indelible mark on the game, setting new standards for future generations of strikers.
