It was a big weekend for the big guns.
All of the Premier League's 'Super League six' registered victories across Saturday and Sunday scoring 20 goals between them - with nearly half of them going to Liverpool.
It was a couple of individual displays which caught the eye though.
Because while Mohamed Salah somehow failed to score in Liverpool's 9-0 thrashing of Bournemouth, both Erling Haaland and Harry Kane were on the mark for their sides in their victories over Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest respectively.
Haaland's Etihad Stadium hat-trick took his tally to six goals in four Premier League matches this season, while Kane is now on four for the campaign after a brace at the City ground.
Which all leads us to a fairly obvious question for a Bank Holiday Monday debate: Who will take home the Golden Boot this season?
Here's what the Mirror Football team think:
David Anderson: Erling Haaland
I think Erling Haaland will take some stopping in the race for the Golden Boot because he has everything he needs to score goals at Manchester City.
He has some of the most-creative players in the world playing alongside him and they will supply him with chances in every game he plays.
With City now geared up to help him score, it would be more of a surprise if he did not finish as the Premier League’s top scorer.
Harry Kane will push him close and he already has four goals in August, when he traditionally struggles.
Mohamed Salah only has two, but as he likes to say, he’s not a striker and therefore should not be compared to the likes of Haaland and Kane.
Tom Victor: Mohamed Salah
I still have faith in Mohamed Salah to claim the Golden Boot, despite him somehow drawing a blank against Bournemouth on Saturday.
It’s not as if the Liverpool man was anonymous in the 9-0 win - it was just one of those days where a combination of bad luck and poor concentration produced a statistical anomaly.
With the winter World Cup likely to take its toll in the second half of the season, it could be between Egypt’s Salah and Norway’s Erling Haaland to kick on after missing the tournament, and questions over the City striker’s ability to play 30 games in a season mean I’m going for the Liverpool man.
Mike Walters: Gabriel Jesus
Of course Erling Haaland's going to win the Golden Boot. He's the most complete striker in the Premier League and Manchester City are going to walk the title.
Of course Harry Kane is the likeliest alternative winner. The England captain is up and running with four goals already, and the prospect of more is as inevitable as a cow's udders producing milk.
Of course Mo Salah will be up there again. He should have scored at least twice in Liverpool's 9-0 massacre of Bournemouth – next time he'll put those chances away blindfolded.
And of course you can't rule out dark horse Aleksandr Mitrovic, who has started the season like a barbecue on fire for Fulham.
On the other hand, Arsenal's new striker Gabriel Jesus has no chance. After all, in 103 starts in the Premier League, he's only scored 55 goals and supplied 25 assists...
Alan Smith: Erling Haaland
The obvious choice.
After Saturday’s hat-trick Haaland is on pace for 57 goals for the season, quickly making those predictions from some pundits that he could average one a game seem not so ludicrous. What will scare opponents most is the sense that he is still on a sharp learning curve, still tuning into the frequency of his team-mates.
It should not be underplayed that he has a key advantage over most rivals for the golden boot with the exception of Mo Salah too - when the likes of Harry Kane will be exhausting themselves in pursuit of the World Cup, Haaland will be resting up at home.
Felix Keith: Mohamed Salah
Ian Wright described Erling Haaland as a “goalscoring monster” after his hat-trick for Manchester City against Crystal Palace on Saturday and it’s hard to argue – he leads the pack with six strikes in four games already.
But there is a major caveat when assessing the Premier League top scorer race: durability. And that is where Haaland could fall down against his rivals, chiefly Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane.
“Last season he didn’t play 90 minutes because he was injured,” Pep Guardiola said recently. “I tell you now when we have games every three days that Erling will not play, I will play Julian [Alvarez].”
It’s a boring way to decide a winner, but Salah has a fantastic track record, not just of scoring, but of availability. That will be telling in this race.
Jeremy Cross: Erling Haaland
The Norwegian has been described as a goal scoring "monster" and it's not difficult to see why.
Haaland will have strong competition for the Golden Boot this season, but is a beast of a centre forward who finds the back of the net for fun.
It's taken him no time at all to make his mark, with six goals in hist first four league appearances.
But this is just the start and if he continues at this rate he could eclipse Dixie Dean's all-time record of 60 goals in the top flight in a single season.
Manchester City create so many chances - and now have the perfect person to finish them all off.
Conor Mummery: Harry Kane
It's still August and Harry Kane has four goals under his belt, with one more still to play this month as Tottenham travel to West Ham on Wednesday.
A notoriously slow starter, Kane has flown out of the traps this season and in the strongest, most balanced, most coherent Spurs set-up since Mauricio Pochettino's last full season at the club, you'd back him to rediscover the relentless goalscoring form that saw him notch 29 and 30 goals in the Premier League back in 2016/17 and 2017/18 respectively.
And I think Erling Haaland will get injured.
Nathan Ridley: Erling Haaland
If anyone had any doubts about Erling Haaland's ability to slot seamlessly into Pep Guardiola's well-oiled system, take a look at what occurred between the 62nd and 81st minutes at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Against Manchester City's bogey team, the Norwegian behemoth bagged a hat-trick made up of three ominously good goals. They came with variety, too, and his third strike was one only he can produce when compared to the likes of Harry Kane, Mohamed Salah and Gabriel Jesus.
Combining speed, strength and precision, you don't even need to look at his first two goals at West Ham or realise that he'll be putting his feet up during the World Cup to know he's coming out on top of the scoring charts this season.
Josh O'Brien: Erling Haaland
The Norwegian superstar has wasted little time at all in silencing the few who dared to doubt him ahead of his high-profile switch to Manchester City.
Six goals inside his opening four Premier League games indicates Haaland is hardly phased by the rigours of the English top-flight, just look at the way he bullied Joel Ward in the build-up to his hat-trick goal last weekend.
Few possess the kind of finishing prowess he has in his armoury at the best of times, but when you factor in the amount of chances he is going to be on the end of in this star-studded City line-up - the sky really is the limit for the former Borussia Dortmund man.
Mark Jones: Harry Kane
These early weeks of the season can trick us into thinking that what is coming to pass now will be true across the entirety of the campaign, but once the amount of fixtures ramp up then things are going to change.
So while everyone is excited about him now, Erling Haaland won't be able to play every game for Manchester City, as Pep Guardiola has said, while Mo Salah is being used a little differently by Jurgen Klopp this season, often in a facilitator role that we won't see the full impact of until Darwin Nunez is up and running.
Indeed, the Uruguayan might come into the equation here when we're asking this question next year and he's stopped headbutting people, but until now go with what you know.
And Harry Kane scores goals.
