Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has won the Premier League’s Golden Boot for the second successive season.
After winning the prize with a record-breaking 36 goals in his first campaign in England, Haaland ended the 2023/24 season with 27 goals.
He did not find the net in Sunday’s 3-1 win over West Ham – which sealed City’s fourth consecutive Premier League title.
But the Norway international still finished five goals clear of Chelsea’s Cole Palmer in second place.

Haaland is now the seventh player in Premier League history to win back-to-back Golden Boots.
The first was Alan Shearer, who won three in a row between 1994/95 and 1996/97.
Michael Owen then shared the 1997/98 Golden Boot with Chris Sutton and Dion Dublin before winning it outright in the following season.
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry emulated Shearer by recording three consecutive Golden Boots from 2003/04 to 2005/06.
Robin van Persie won the Golden Boot as an Arsenal player in 2011/12 before retaining it while playing for Manchester United a year later.
Harry Kane then became the third Englishman to win back-to-back Premier League Golden Boots when he topped the charts in 2015/16 and 2016/17.
The last player to retain the Golden Boot prior to Haaland was Liverpool’s Mo Salah.
Salah won the award with 32 goals in the 2017/18 campaign before sharing it with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sadio Mane (22 goals each) in 2018/19.
