Man City star Erling Haaland wins THIRD Golden Boot

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland secured his third Premier League Golden Boot in four seasons on Sunday. Despite missing Pep Guardiola’s final game as City closed out their campaign with a 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa, the Norwegian scored 27 goals in 35 appearances this term, joining Alan Shearer and Harry Kane as a three-time Golden Boot winner.

Haaland was left out of the squad for a 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa on Sunday as City celebrated Guardiola’s trophy-laden 10-year reign in his final match. Despite this absence, the prolific forward won the Golden Boot, finishing ahead of Brentford’s Igor Thiago, who scored 22 goals to earn a Brazil World Cup call-up. This milestone means the City talisman trails only Mohamed Salah and Thierry Henry, who are the only players to win the accolade four times. Haaland’s incredible campaign consisted of 2,959 minutes in the top flight, adding to a formidable total of 38 goals in 52 matches across all competitions this season.
