Title: Top Scorers in the Premier League (2024/25 Season)

As the 2024/25 Premier League season unfolds, here's an overview of the top scorers and their impressive feats:

  1. Erling Haaland (Manchester City): With his incredible form, Haaland continues to dominate the league. He has won back-to-back Golden Boot awards (2023/24 & 2022/23) and is showing no signs of slowing down.

  2. Cole Palmer (Chelsea): Despite being a mid-season injury, Palmer stunned the world with his second-place finish in the 2023/24 season, achieving a record-breaking hat-trick that helped close the gap on Haaland.

  3. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): Consistently among the top scorers, Salah continued his impressive form by scoring on opening day of the 2024/25 season. He is the first player in Premier League history to find the net in nine different opening day fixtures.

  4. Alexander Isak (Newcastle): With 21 goals in the 2023/24 season, Isak demonstrated his prowess as a lethal striker and placed third on the top scorers table.

The Sporting News will be updating the table during every matchday of the 2024/25 Premier League season through to the final matches on May 25, 2024. Assists serve as the first tiebreaker for the Premier League top scorer, followed by a lower minutes-per-goal value.

In the history of the Premier League era (since 1992-93), Andy Cole and Alan Shearer had their record for most goals in a single season shattered by Erling Haaland in 2022/23. Thierry Henry finished atop the scoring chart in four different seasons, more than any player all-time. Shearer and Harry Kane follow with three scoring titles each.

Haaland secured his second consecutive Premier League Golden Boot in 2023/24 with 27 goals despite a mid-season injury. He led Manchester City to another title, finishing five goals ahead of Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, who surged with a record-breaking hat-trick.
