Premier League top goal scorers 2023/2024: Final EPL golden boot rankings as Erling Haaland wins second title | Sporting News United Kingdom

May 19, 2024

After setting a new single-season Premier League goals record en route to the Golden Boot award in 2022/23, Manchester City star Erling Haaland followed up that historic effort with another title winning performance, securing the 2023/24 crown as well with a less Herculean but still impressive 27-goal tally.

He won the crown with a five-goal gap over any other player, topping the 22-goal performance by Chelsea’s star signing Cole Palmer, who dragged the Blues to a European place amidst plenty of turmoil. Alexander Isak of Newcastle finished third with 21 goals, while three players finished level with 19 for joint-fourth place.

Man City’s Norwegian star was comfortably the leader early in the 2023/24 Golden Boot race, with 14 goals in his first 15 games, hinting at yet another record-challenging effort. However, after suffering a foot injury in December, he did not play again until a substitute appearance against Burnley on January 31, ruining his chances at matching last season’s mark.

Haaland was on hand to crown City’s 3-1 derby win over Manchester United on March 3, and after he drew blanks against Liverpool and Arsenal, a penalty against Luton Town meant goals versus all 22 of his Premier League opponents, another incredible mark. Haaland then hit four against Wolves, which opened back up a clear leadand paved the way to his second straight Golden Boot.

Palmer surged into the contenders with a four-spot against Everton in mid-April. The first three goals in that match marked the fastest perfect hat-trick in Premier League history and gave Palmer his second trio in recent weeks following a dramatic late rescue act against Manchester United. His goal against Brighton on May 15 left Palmer five back from Haaland, who moved clear again and then responded in kind with a double at Tottenham to put City on the brink of the title.

Isak gave chase as well but drew a blank in Newcastle’s defeat at Manchester United, with Ollie WatkinsDominic Solanke and Phil Foden rounding out the top six. Foden was never truly in the conversation, but the PFA Player of the Year had a remarkable season and his brace on the final day brought him to 19 goals on the year and sealed the title for Man City in the process.

The Sporting News updated the top scorers’ table below all season long, with assists and minutes played serving as the first and second tiebreakers as per other major European tournaments run by UEFA.
