    Manchester City’s goal machine, Erling Haaland, has won back-to-back Premier League Golden Boot awards, joining an elite club in the process.

    After clinching the prestigious prize in his first season in England by netting a record 36 goals in 35 appearances, the Norwegian superstar has now won the award for a second consecutive season, scoring 27 goals in 31 matches. This feat contributed significantly to City securing their fourth successive Premier League title with a 3-1 victory over West Ham on the final day.

    At just 23 years old, Haaland becomes only the seventh player in Premier League history to win the Golden Boot in consecutive seasons. He joins an exclusive group that includes legendary names such as Thierry Henry, Mohamed Salah, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Robin van Persie, and Harry Kane.

    Former Arsenal great Thierry Henry holds the record for the most Golden Boot awards, having won them in the 2001–02, 2003–04, 2004–05, and 2005–06 seasons. Haaland, with his prolific scoring record, will undoubtedly have his sights set on challenging Henry’s record in the coming years.

    The Norwegian international will now enjoy a well-deserved break before returning to action for pre-season games, as Manchester City is set to travel to the US in July.
