Manchester City striker Erling Haaland won the 2025/26 Golden Boot award, the Premier League's top scorer, with 27 goals.

This title is also the third for the Norwegian striker throughout his career in England's top-flight competition.

Haaland is five goals ahead of Brentford striker Igor Thiago, who is second on the list of top scorers.

This success underscores Haaland's dominance over the past few seasons. The 25-year-old previously won the Golden Boot in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons.

Meanwhile, last season's Golden Boot was won by Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah with 29 goals.

Haaland first won the award in his debut season with Manchester City, scoring 36 goals, which at the time was a record for most goals in a single Premier League season.

In the following season, he was again the top scorer with a collection of 27 goals, a number he achieved again this season.

The race for top scorer this season was joined by several other names. Brentford's Igor Thiago finished second with 22 goals and emerged as his club's mainstay.

Meanwhile, Haaland's Manchester City teammate, Antoine Semenyo, is in third place with 17 goals.

The Ghanaian player has impressed since joining from Bournemouth in the January transfer window.

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins is England's top scorer this season with 16 goals. His two goals in the final week helped Villa win 2-1 over Manchester City and secure a Champions League spot.

Under Watkins, Chelsea's Joao Pedro and Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White both scored 15 goals.

Arsenal's Viktor Gyokeres and Leeds United's Dominic Calvert-Lewin both finished the season with 14 goals each.

Based on the official English Premier League website, here is the list of top scorers for the 2025/26 season:

1. Erling Haaland (Manchester City) – 27 goals
