Erling Haaland has emerged as the leading top scorer in the EPL for the 2025/26 season, winning a third Golden Boot in four seasons at Manchester City on Sunday.

Haaland was left out of the City squad for a 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa as City celebrated Guardiola’s trophy-laden 10-year reign in the manager’s final match in charge of the club.

Norwegian star Haaland scored 27 times in 35 league appearances as City fell just short in their quest to deny Arsenal the Premier League title.

Haaland joins Alan Shearer and Harry Kane as three-time winners and trails Mohamed Salah and Thierry Henry as the only players to win the award four times in the Premier League era.
