0 0 0 217 0

With 15 goals from 9 games, ErlingHaaland is the clear front-runner in the race for the Golden Boot of the ongoing Premier League season. The next contender, Harry Kane, is 6 goals away from catching up with Haaland, who has played a key role in all of Manchester City’s matches so far.

The Norwegian’s most recent performance includes a 4-0 victory over Southampton, where he scored the final goal. At the rate, Haaland is on track to take on some records including Mohamed Salah’s 32 goals in 38 games in the 2017-18 season, and Andy Cole and Alan Shearer’s record of 34 goals in 42 games. Furthermore, Haaland has contributed to playmaking with his regular assists, that also provide a chance for him to take on Alan Shearer’s record of 47 goals and assists in 42 games, and Thierry Henry’s record of 44 in 38 games.

There are several other records that Haaland could challenge if his stellar performances continue. These include Kevin Phillip’s 30 goals for Sunderland in a first Premier League season, goals in 24 different matches by Salah for Liverpool, most goals in a Premier League match (5 players hold this record with 5 goals), and Jamie Vardy’s goals in 11 consecutive matches for Leicester. The current top 10 contenders for the Golden Boot are:

ErlingHaaland, Manchester City, 15 goals

Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur, 9 goals

Ivan Toney, Brentford, 8 goals

Aleksander Mitrovic, Fulham, 7 goals

Phil Foden, Manchester City, 6 goals

Roberto Firmino, Liverpool, 6 goals
