After setting a new single-season Premier League goals record
en route to the Golden Boot award in 2022/23, Manchester City star Erling Haaland followed up that historic effort with another title winning performance, securing the 2023/24 crown as well with a less Herculean but still impressive 27-goal tally.
He won the crown with a five-goal gap over any other player, topping the 22-goal performance by Chelsea’s star signing Cole Palmer, who dragged the Blues to a European place amidst plenty of turmoil. Alexander Isak of Newcastle finished third with 21 goals, while three players finished level with 19 for joint-fourth place.
Man City’s Norwegian star was comfortably the leader early in the 2023/24 Golden Boot race, with 14 goals in his first 15 games, hinting at yet another record-challenging effort. However, after suffering a foot injury in December, he did not play again until a substitute appearance against Burnley on January 31, ruining his chances at matching last season’s mark.
Haaland was on hand to crown City’s 3-1 derby win over Manchester United
on March 3, and after he drew blanks against Liverpool and Arsenal, a penalty against Luton Town meant goals versus all 22 of his Premier League opponents, another incredible mark. Haaland then hit four against Wolves, which opened back up a clear leadand paved the way to his second straight Golden Boot.
Palmer surged into the contenders with a four-spot against Everton in mid-April. The first three goals in that match marked the fastest perfect hat-trick in Premier League history and gave Palmer his second trio in recent weeks following a dramatic late rescue act against Manchester United
. His goal against Brighton on May 15 left Palmer five back from Haaland, who moved clear again and then responded in kind with a double at Tottenham to put City on the brink of the title
.
Isak gave chase as well but drew a blank in Newcastle’s defeat at Manchester United
, with Ollie Watkins, Dominic Solanke and Phil Foden rounding out the top six. Foden was never truly in the conversation, but the PFA Player of the Year had a remarkable season and his brace on the final day brought him to 19 goals
on the year and sealed the title for Man City in the process.
