Erling Haaland has won the Premier League Golden Boot for the second season in a row, scoring 27 goals in 31 appearances this season, of which two have been from the bench. The Norwegian becomes the first Manchester City player to win successive Golden Boot awards.
Overall, he is the fifth player in the history of the top flight to win the Golden Boot in two consecutive seasons. Alongside the top scorer award, he has also won the Premier League trophy for the second season in a row. And with the FA Cup final set next Saturday, he has the opportunity to make it two domestic doubles in a row as well.

The 23-year-old broke the record for the most goals scored in a single Premier League season in 2022/23, when he netted 36. With his tally of 27 his year, his overall goals have gone up to 63, while his total goals are 90 in 96 games for the Sky Blues.
The runner-up to Haaland is his former City teammate Cole Palmer, who has scored 22 goals this season with Chelsea, helping them to a 6th placed finish.
While Erling Haaland has been criticised a lot for not hitting the same heights he did last season, as well as disappearing in big games, his stats speak for themselves. It’ll be interesting to see how he copes with the newfound challenges in the upcoming season as City gear up to make it five titles in a row.
