Erling Haaland becomes Premier League top scorer for the third time

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has won the Golden Boot for the third consecutive time, scoring 27 goals in the current Premier League season. With this achievement, the Norwegian star joins legendary three-time top scorers like Alan Shearer and Harry Kane. Despite not playing in the final match under Pep Guardiola, Haaland's efficiency throughout the season allowed him to maintain his lead. This is reported by Goal.com reports .

Brentford striker Igor Thiago took second place in the top scorer race. The Brazilian finished the championship with 22 goals. Now, only Mohamed Salah and Thierry Henry remain ahead of Erling Haaland — they are the only players to have been the top scorer in the English championship four times.

Erling Haaland has managed to score 162 goals in 198 appearances during his time at Manchester City. He set a record with 36 goals in his debut season. Although his team lost the title to Arsenal this year, the striker's individual stats remain high. At the end of the season, Arsenal celebrated the title after a 22-year drought.

A new era now awaits Manchester City. After Pep Guardiola's departure, Enzo Maresca is expected to lead the team. Haaland will focus on international matches with the Norway national team before returning to Manchester to lead the club's new project.
