TL;DR

  • Erling Haaland leads the Premier League Golden Boot race with 14 goals in 12 matches.
  • Mohamed Salah matched the Premier League record for goal contributions with 29 goals and 18 assists in 2024/25.
  • Haaland set a new Premier League record with 36 goals in the 2022/23 season.
  • Assists are the initial tiebreaker, followed by minutes-per-goal ratio in the scoring competition.

Erling Haaland has opened up a healthy lead in the Premier League Golden Boot race.

Last season, Mohamed Salah matched the Premier League's record for goal contributions in one season, netting 29 goals to secure the Golden Boot and adding 18 assists to put himself in contention for the Ballon d'Or. 

Still, he's got some ground to make up on Haaland, who's hit double digits again in short order.

In a November 2 game, Manchester City faced Bournemouth, featuring two of the division's top-performing attackers. While Cherries' standout Antoine Semenyo couldn't increase his season total of six goals, Haaland's two goals brought his tally to 13 in 10 matches. He reached 14 goals after scoring against Liverpool and even though he had earlier missed a penalty.

The chasing pack includes Brentford's Igor Thiago, Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Brighton's seasoned player Danny Welbeck. In matchweek 12, when City's main striker Haaland failed to score in their 2-1 loss to Newcastle, Igor and Welbeck made a slight gain on him.
