Erling Haaland has secured the top scorer spot in the EPL for the 2025/26 season, claiming his third Golden Boot in four seasons with Manchester City following the conclusion of the season on Sunday.

n

Haaland was notably absent from the City squad that suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa, a match that marked the end of Guardiola’s 10-year tenure as the club’s manager.

n

Throughout the season, Haaland made 35 league appearances, scoring 27 goals, but unfortunately, this was not enough to help City surpass Arsenal and claim the Premier League title.

n

With this achievement, Haaland joins the ranks of Alan Shearer and Harry Kane as a three-time Golden Boot winner, trailing only Mohamed Salah and Thierry Henry, who have each won the award four times in the Premier League era.

n

Igor Thiago of Brentford finished second in the scoring standings with 22 goals, a performance that earned him a spot in the Brazil squad for the World Cup.

n

Haaland started the season with incredible form, scoring 19 of his Premier League goals in the first 17 games, setting a high standard for the rest of the season.

n

A rare dry spell, during which Haaland scored just one goal from the penalty spot against Brighton in seven games around the turn of the year, had significant implications for City’s title aspirations, as the team managed only two wins during that period.

n

Haaland regained his form later in the season, scoring crucial winners against Liverpool and Arsenal in a title-deciding match last month, although City ultimately dropped points in games against Everton and Bournemouth, allowing Arsenal to claim the championship after a 22-year wait.

n

The top 10 goalscorers for the EPL 2025/26 season are led by Erling Haaland of Manchester City with 27 goals, followed closely by Igor Thiago of Brentford with 22 goals.

n

The remainder of the top 10 includes Antoine Semenyo with 16 goals, João Pedro with 15 goals, and Morgan Gibbs-White, Ollie Watkins, and Viktor Gyökeres, each with 14 goals.

n

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Danny Welbeck, and Junior Kroupi complete the top 10 list with 14, 13, and 13 goals, respectively.
