Erling Haaland sent Golden Boot warning by Harry Kane despite Man City scoring run continuing

Erling Haaland looks to be running away with the Premier League Golden Boot just two months into the season, although Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane doesn't see it that way.

Haaland has enjoyed a remarkable start to his Manchester City career, scoring 15 goals in his first nine Premier League outings. His second-half strike in City's 4-0 defeat of Southampton on Saturday broke another record: no player had ever reached 15 goals so quickly during their first season in the league.

City's 22-year-old striker has scored seven more league goals than anyone else this season, including Kane who is second in the goal standings with eight. Kane has won the Premier League Golden Boot award on three occasions, the most recent coming in 2020/21 when he netted 23 times in 35 matches.
