Haaland scored 36 goals in 35 games, for a goals-per-game ratio of 1.03. He also had 12 assists in the league. Haaland’s goalscoring exploits helped Manchester City win the Premier League title.
Haaland is the first player to win the Premier League golden boot in his debut season since Mohamed Salah in 2017-2018. He is also the youngest player to win the award, at the age of 22.

Haaland’s goalscoring ability is undeniable. He is a powerful striker with a clinical finishing touch. He is also good in the air and he is a threat from set pieces.
Haaland’s arrival at Manchester City has transformed the team. They were already one of the best teams in the Premier League, but Haaland has taken them to another level. He has helped them to score more goals and to win more games.
Haaland is a special talent and he is sure to be one of the best strikers in the world for many years to come. His goalscoring record in the Premier League is a testament to his ability, and he will be looking to add to his tally next season.
