Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has clinched the 2023/24 Premier League Golden Boot. The Norwegian striker secured this accolade by scoring 27 goals in 31 appearances, marking a slight decrease from his phenomenal performance last season when he netted 36 goals in 35 matches.
Despite the dip in goal-scoring numbers, Haaland maintained a comfortable lead over his nearest competitor, Cole Palmer of Chelsea, who tallied 22 goals in his debut season.
Reflecting on his achievement, Haaland remained modest, stating, “It’s not bad. There’s not much to say, it’s better to just play football and don’t speak too much. Let other people do the speaking and that’s better.”
Acknowledging the intensity of the Premier League, Haaland remarked, “Every game is so intense and tough.”
Following Haaland and Palmer in the top goal-scorer rankings is Alexander Isak of Newcastle United, who secured the bronze medal with 21 goals.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, with 19 goals and 13 assists, showcased his remarkable all-around contribution to the team. Phil Foden of Manchester City and Dominic Solanke of Bournemouth also finished with 19 goals each.
Overall, these players formed the exclusive 20+ club for the season, with Haaland leading the pack as the Premier League’s top scorer.
