Conclusion
Haaland began the season in blistering form, netting 19 of his 27 goals in the first 17 matches, keeping City firmly in the title race. A brief dip around the turn of the year saw him score just once in seven games—a penalty against Brighton—while City managed only two wins in that stretch.
He returned to form later, scoring the winner away to Liverpool and finding the net against Arsenal in a match billed as a title decider. However, dropped points against Everton and Bournemouth allowed Arsenal to move clear and secure the league.
Conclusion
Haaland’s latest Golden Boot confirms his status as one of the Premier League’s most consistent finishers, even in a season where his side missed out on the trophy.

Haaland Wins Third EPL Golden Boot
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has claimed the English Premier League Golden Boot for the 2025/26 season after finishing as the league’s top scorer.
Haaland amassed 27 Premier League goals, finishing five clear of Brentford’s Igor Thiago, who scored 22 goals and earned a call‑up to Brazil’s World Cup squad.
Historic Achievement
This third Golden Boot places Haaland alongside Alan Shearer and Harry Kane as the only three‑time winners in the Premier League era. He now trails only Mohamed Salah and Thierry Henry, who have each won the award four times.
Arsenal Clinches the Title
Despite Haaland’s goal‑scoring exploits, Manchester City fell short in their bid to stop Arsenal from winning the league. City ended the campaign with a 2‑1 loss to Aston Villa on the final day, a match in which Haaland was omitted as Pep Guardiola coached his last game after a decade at the helm.
Arsenal were crowned champions for the first time in 22 years after City dropped crucial points in the closing stages of the season.
