Erling Haaland has opened up a healthy lead in the Premier League Golden Boot race.
Mohamed Salah equaled the Premier League record for goal contributions in a single season last campaign, scoring 29 goals to win the Golden Boot while pairing it with 18 assists to put himself in contention for the Ballon d'Or.
However, he has some catching up to do after Haaland once again reached double figures in quick time.
A November 2 matchup between Manchester City and Bournemouth pitted two of the division's in-form attackers against one another. But as Cherries star Antoine Semenyo was unable to add to his six so far this season, Haaland's brace took him on to 13 in 10 appearances. He moved to 14 when scoring against Liverpool, even though he had earlier missed a penalty.
Brentford's Igor Thiago, Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta and Brighton veteran Danny Welbeck are among the chasing pack.
The Sporting News details the chase for the Premier League top goal-scorer award, which will be a heated battle throughout the 2025/26 season.
