Premier League Highest Goal Scorer 2022-23 Season

Manchester City’s Erling Haaland won himself a Golden Boot last season after emerging as the Premier League highest goal scorer for the 2022/23 season.

Sportxparte reports that it was the Norwegian forward’s first season in the English Premier League at Manchester City, yet Haaland broke the record for the most goals scored in a single campaign after seeing the back of the net 36 times.

The Premier League is renowned for its robust physicality and blistering pace, rendering it particularly challenging for migrating footballers to acclimate to the league.

Nevertheless, Haaland defied this notion with an exceptional commencement to his Premier League career at Manchester City. Recall that the then 22-year-old forward transitioned from Borussia Dortmund in Germany to Manchester City, emerging as the newest and most formidable asset in Pep Guardiola‘s squad.

Amid the Premier League highest goal scorer race, Haaland achieved the remarkable feat of scoring three hat-tricks in the initial nine City matches, including a treble in the Manchester Derby, which resulted in a resounding 6-3 victory for The Cityzens.

No player in the annals of Premier League history has managed to accomplish three EPL hat-tricks at a faster pace than Haaland, Sportxparte reports.

The Top Boys In The 2022/23 Premier League Highest Goal Scorer Chart

Aside from Man City’s Haaland, below are the other highest goal scorers in the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.

Harry Kane: The forward for Tottenham, had an impressive record of 30 goals in the 2022/23 Premier League season.

Recall that Kane has already earned three Golden Boots. Despite having World Cup responsibilities before him, Kane still proved his prowess by scoring more goals, though he fell second behind Man City’s Haaland.

Kane now plays as a striker for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and captains the England national team.

Brantford Star, Ivan Toney

Ivan Toney: The goal-scoring machine for Brentford ended the 2022/23 Premier League season with 20 goals, including five penalties. Toney had scored 33 goals to help his team earn promotion to the Premier League, yet he followed that up with more goals last season.

Toney is a formidable opponent for defenders both in the air and on the ground, and he is also a skilled penalty taker.

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah: The Egyptian king and Liverpool superstar earned his third Golden Boot in the previous season.

Salah did try his best for the Reds in the 2022 campaign, he, however, came fourth on the top goal scorer chart with nineteen (19) goals, including two penalties.

The Egyptian had just renewed his contract last season for Jurgen Klopp’s side as he poised to remain a dominant force at Anfield.

Manchester City’s Erling Haaland

Haaland Records So Far

One may want to ask, how many or which records did Erling Haaland break since his journey in the Premier League?

Although the Norwegian professional footballer did not reach 40 goals, he has achieved the Premier League record, and it is highly unlikely that anyone will claim that reaching 40 goals is impossible in the future.

Sportxparte understands that Haaland came close to surpassing the record for goal involvements (goals plus assists) in a single season, even surpassing the 42-game record. Alan Shearer previously held the record with 47 goals over 42 games, while Thierry Henry holds the record for the 38-game season with 44 goals.

Furthermore, Haaland broke Phillips’ record for the most goals in a debut Premier League season when he scored his 31st goal of the season against Leicester City on April 15th.
