Erling Haaland secured the Premier League Golden Boot for the second consecutive season with an impressive tally of 27 goals during Manchester City's triumphant title-winning campaign. City clinched their fourth straight league title by defeating West Ham 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium, finishing two points ahead of Arsenal, who won their final match against Everton.
Although Haaland fell short of his remarkable 36-goal performance from the previous season, his 27 goals this season comfortably outpaced Cole Palmer, who netted 22 goals in the race for the Golden Boot. Despite facing criticism for some of his displays this season, notably from former Manchester United captain Roy Keane, who labeled him a 'League Two player' after City's goalless draw with Arsenal in April, Haaland's goal-scoring prowess remained undeniable.
In response to Keane's remarks, City manager Pep Guardiola lauded Haaland as the 'best striker in the world.' Haaland's consistency and lethal finishing ability have solidified his reputation as one of the most prolific goal-scorers in modern football.
