His goals helped to secure a historic treble for Man City and Pep Guardiola.

Man City came into the new season as favourites to win a sixth EPL title in the space of seven seasons, and similarly Haaland was well backed to win the Golden Boot again.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is the last Premier League attacker to have won the Golden Boot in back-to-back seasons, and he started the campaign as the biggest likely threat to stop Haaland achieving the same feat.

Salah and Liverpool were short of their best last season, but he still managed to score 19 times in the Premier League and net 30 goals in all competitions.

Coming into the 2023/24 campaign, Egypt forward Salah had scored at least 19 goals in all six of the Premier League seasons he had played with Liverpool.

The Reds' fellow attacker Darwin Nunez was another strong candidate, according to pre-season betting odds. Nunez only scored nine goals last year but proved capable of getting into good goalscoring positions.

Harry Kane had an uncertain status going into 2023/24. The striker would have been a key rival to Haaland, having impressively scored 30 goals as part of a poor Tottenham team last season. But his transfer to Bayern Munich boosted the chances of the EPL's other top strikers.

Marcus Rashford was the top Man Utd goalscorer in the Premier League last time out, scoring 17 times, and he was hoping to reach the 20-mark for the first time.

Manchester United: Top scorers in 2023/24 and past Golden Boot winners

Former Golden Boot winner Son Heung-min, Newcastle duo Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson, Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus and Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins were also seen as candidates.

And Chelsea's forwards hoped to fare better than last season after Kai Havertz was their top EPL scorer with only seven goals. The Germany forward has now joined Arsenal.

Who has the most Premier League assists?

The Premier League top scorers will be displayed on this page throughout the season. We will take an in-depth look at the latest standings for the players with the most EPL goals, with updates after every matchday.

Erling Haaland is first in the list of Premier League top scorers for the 2023/24 season, although his main rival Ollie Watkins has also impressed and is his closest challenger at the top.

Manchester City forward Haaland has 18 EPL goals from 22 matches, meaning he leads the Premier League Golden Boot race.

That is despite Haaland having a difficult recent spell that included an injury absence.

Mohamed Salah has recently returned from the Africa Cup of Nations, while Son Heung-min was at the Asian Cup, so the rest of the Premier League top scorer contenders had a chance to make up some ground during those tournaments and while Haaland was out in the early part of 2024.

Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke, West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen, Newcastle's Alexander Isak, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Tottenham's Richarlison all feature prominently in the standings after producing some impressive Premier League performances.

Haaland is just two goals clear of Watkins and three ahead of Salah, who in turn has a one-goal advantage over Solanke and a two-goal advantage over Tottenham forward Son.

The Golden Boot battle remains incredibly close. There are now 13 players in the rankings who have reached double figures for Premier League goals this season and just five goals separate the top seven players in the scoring standings.

Premier League top scorer Haaland netted a hat-trick against Fulham as Man City won 5-1 on September 2 to help give him the most goals so far in the 2023/24 season.

Haaland made his intentions clear with a magnificent start to his bid to repeat as the Golden Boot winner, netting twice in the first half as his team beat Burnley 3-0 on the opening night of the new season.

He also scored against Sheffield United and West Ham, with Man City initially making a fantastic start to their Premier League title defence.

Haaland's goal in the MD6 win against Nottingham Forest capped a fast start to the season as Pep Guardiola’s men won each of their first six matches.

But consecutive EPL defeats against Wolves and Arsenal dramatically halted that run, with the striker not scoring in either game.

He responded by netting against Brighton and adding to his total with a Manchester derby double as Man City cruised to a 3-0 win over Man Utd at Old Trafford.

In that game he became the first Premier League player to reach double figures this season and, after scoring twice more in a dramatic 4-4 away draw over Chelsea, Haaland’s strike in the 1-1 draw at home to Liverpool on November 25 saw him become the fastest player in Premier League history to reach 50 goals, doing so in just 48 matches.

Haaland did not score in the dramatic 3-3 draw against Tottenham or the frustrating 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa, where he was twice denied by goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and also suffered a foot injury, stalling his progress for almost two months.

He missed his first league games of the season against Luton Town and Crystal Palace before Man City's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup and also sat out the clashes against Everton, Sheffield United and Newcastle.

Haaland returned after almost two months out in a substitute appearance as Man City beat Burnley 3-1 on January 31, but it was Julian Alvarez who did the damage for Pep Guardiola's side with a key double.

His first start since the injury came away against Brentford, but it was Phil Foden who scored a hat-trick in a 3-1 comeback win.

Haaland was not to be kept down for long, though, and he scored both goals as Man City beat Everton 2-0 on February 10 and also struck in the home win over Brentford.

Still, recent form has been mixed for Haaland. He failed to score in the 1-1 draw for Man City against Chelsea but then did get back on track with a late winning goal as Pep Guardiola's men defeated Brentford 1-0 at home.

But it was Phil Foden who scored the winner as Man City won 1-0 at Bournemouth and the England international took centre stage again in the derby against Man Utd, scoring twice including a thunderbolt to level the match. Haaland had missed a huge chance in the first half, but did redeem himself by scoring late on to wrap up a 3-1 win.

After his heroics last season, the other contenders did not need a reminder about how hard it would be to stop Haaland coming out on top once more.

But they have got one nonetheless in the first two-thirds of the Premier League season and the Norway star still looks strong at the top of the standings.

There are a few prominent rivals emerging who want to challenge Halaand in the battle to score most goals in the 2023/24 season, with 11 players who have joined the Man City striker in scoring a hat-trick so far this season.

His team-mate Foden, Tottenham's former Golden Boot winner Son, rising Brighton star Evan Ferguson, Aston Villa attacker Watkins, Bournemouth frontman Solanke, Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah, Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood, West Ham's Bowen, Luton's Elijah Adebayo, Wolves attacker Matheus Cunha and Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson have all struck trebles.

Son scored his hat-trick against Burnley and also netted a deadly double in the dramatic 2-2 derby draw against rivals Arsenal to help him to become one of Haaland's closest challengers.

The South Korea star is near the top of the goalscoring charts in England after scoring in the draw with Man City at the Etihad and adding to his total in the recent wins over Newcastle, Everton, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.

Watkins' treble came as Aston Villa stunned Brighton with a 6-1 win on Matchday 7, while Jackson scored three times in Chelsea’s win over nine-man rivals Tottenham.

Solanke has made a big move up the standings over recent weeks. He scored twice as Bournemouth earned an impressive 2-0 home win over Newcastle but his treble came in a dramatic 3-2 away win over Nottingham Forest on December 23. He now has 14 EPL goals.

Liverpool forward Salah is also in the running and has 15 goals, 11 of which came in a lethal 13-match run from October 8 until January 1.

He scored a double in the 2-0 Merseyside derby win over Everton at Anfield, one game after he had also netted twice in his side's 2-2 draw with Brighton at the start of that fine run.

Salah also scored doubles in the 3-0 win over Brentford and the entertaining 4-2 triumph over Newcastle before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez rose up the standings in Salah's absence, as they impressed in the 4-0 win for Liverpool at Bournemouth on MD21. Both forwards scored twice as the Reds increased their lead at the top of the table. MD22 saw Jota score again as Liverpool took on Chelsea.

Jota and Nunez then closed in on double figures with strikes the 3-1 home win over Burnley on MD24. Nunez then scored against Brentford and Nottingham Forest too.

Bowen has helped West Ham to an impressive campaign so far and shown consistent form, meaning he also features prominently in the scoring standings with 14 goals. One of his recent goals helped to earn a 2-1 London derby win over rivals Tottenham, while he also struck to cap a 3-0 victory over Wolves after an early double from Mohammed Kudus and also netted to secure a 2-0 win over Man Utd. His hat-trick came in the 4-2 home win over Brentford on February 26.

Isak scored twice in Newcastle's impressive 5-1 win over Villa on MD1. After a brief dip in form he has since improved his goal tally to 11, with his most recent strikes coming in the entertaining 3-2 loss against Man City and this week's home win over Wolves.

The club's other Golden Boot contender, Callum Wilson, has converted strikes against Villa, Brighton, Brentford, Sheffield United, Crystal Palace and Wolves (x2) to reach seven goals, a total that has since been surpassed by Anthony Gordon.

Richarlison has scored nine goals in eight matches between December and early February to reach 10 overall in 2023/24. He netted in Tottenham's entertaining 2-2 draw at Man Utd and 3-2 win over Brentford. Spurs now have Son back from the Asian Cup, giving them two forwards with impressive goal totals.

Bukayo Saka is the top scorer for Arsenal with 13 strikes. Some of his recent goals came in the 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest on January 30 and the 3-1 triumph over title rivals Liverpool on February 4.

Saka also scored in the loss at Fulham, before netting a double in the emphatic 6-0 win at West Ham on February 11, and another two goals a week later in the 5-0 win at Burnley. A sensational solo goal against Newcastle on February 24 made it seven goals in five games as Saka continues to launch a shock Golden Boot bid.

Saka has moved well clear of Nketiah, who moved up to five goals with his hat-trick against Sheffield United on October 28 but has not netted in the top flight since.

Cole Palmer is the Chelsea top scorer after he raced up to 10 goals over recent weeks. The former Man City attacking midfielder scored a double in the 3-2 win at Luton Town, before netting a penalty against Fulham and scoring in the 4-2 defeat at home to Wolves on February 4.

Cunha scored a hat-trick for Wolves in that game, becoming the 10th player to do so in the EPL this season. He is up to nine goals, just one behind team-mate Hwang in the scoring standings.

Another contender is Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo. He impressed in the absence of Ivan Toney in the early part of the season and has scored seven goals.

Scott McTominay is the Man Utd top scorer. He has seven goals after netting doubles in home wins over Brentford and Chelsea this season, as well as the winning goal at Aston Villa this month.

Rasmus Hojlund joined the standings for the first time this season after his double helped Man Utd to a key 2-1 win at Luton Town on February 18. The Denmark striker became the youngest player in Premier League history to score in six straight EPL games.

Haaland's impressive record means there is a familiar face at the top of the goal rankings, but a repeat Golden Boot win is not yet a foregone conclusion, with his rivals in the scoring standings like Salah, Son, Solanke and Bowen not far behind.

Premier League Golden Boot: Previous Winners

There are only four players who have scored the most goals in the EPL on three or more occasions.

Alan Shearer won the Golden Boot three times, once with Newcastle and twice with Blackburn Rovers, while Harry Kane’s win in 2020/21 was also his third.

Mohamed Salah's success in the 2021/22 season meant he joined that list of three-time winners.

Thierry Henry holds the record, though, having been named the top scorer in the Premier League on four occasions for Arsenal.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez are two of the biggest names to have won the award, scoring 31 goals in 2007/08 and 2013/14 respectively.

Champions League: Current top scorers and past Golden Boot winners

Liverpool have had the most Premier League Golden Boot winners with seven.

Arsenal are just behind on six, while Man Utd and Tottenham have had five winners, with Chelsea on four. Haaland gave Man City a third win.

The Premier League began from the 1992/93 season.

Prior to that, Ian Wright was the last highest goalscorer in England when it was the old First Division. Gary Lineker and Alan Smith were also winners in the 1990s before the league was rebranded.

Previously, the record for most goals in an EPL campaign was shared by Alan Shearer (1994/95) and Andy Cole (1993/94). Both players scored an astonishing 34 goals, though the season schedule was longer then – Shearer did it in 42 matches and Cole in 40.

Mohamed Salah came close to that record in 2017/18, scoring 32 times in 36 outings, producing what had been the best Premier League goalscoring season in this century until Haaland's spectacular arrival.

Which player has the most assists in Europe?

The Golden Boot winner with the best goals per game ratio in a season is also Haaland after his exploits last season (1.03 goals per game). Previously it was Kane after England’s captain netted 29 times in just 30 games to win the 2016/17 title, averaging 0.97 GPG.

Who are the Premier League top scorers of all time?

Alan Shearer is the highest goalscorer in Premier League history, having ended his career in 2006 with a magnificent 260 goals to his name in England’s top division.

Andy Cole (187), Sergio Aguero (184), Frank Lampard (177) and Thierry Henry (175) are former Premier League players who sit near the top of the all-time list.

Before 2023/24 began, Robbie Fowler (163), Jermain Defoe (162) and Michael Owen (150) rounded out the 10 players in EPL history who have scored 150 goals or more.

Prior to his transfer, Kane was the highest-scoring active player and he has long been cited as one of the rare contenders who has a chance to rival Shearer’s record total.

Mohamed Salah is also rising fast in the rankings. He was 14th overall on 139 goals when the season began.
