Golden Boot: The race for the award has started but very slowly unlike last season where attackers already bagged goals in first few games.
Though Haaland set a new record last season (36 goals), he has started rather slowly scoring only two goals in two matches.
Well, it has not been the same this season as the Norwegian has failed to start as early as he did last season.
There have been new early leaders in the race for the 2023/24 Premier League Golden Boot with new stars showing their prowess.
As of the time of writing, Taiwo Awoniyi, Solly March, and Bryan Mbuemo have all overtaken the City star with 3 goals to their names.
West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen, Alexander Isak, Luis Diaz, Eddie Nketiah, Michail Antonio, Yoane Wissa, Raheem Sterling, and Bukayo Saka are all tied on two goals with Erling Haaland.
