Erling Haaland has won the Premier League Golden Boot for a second straight season. (More Football News)
Manchester City striker Haaland finished with 27 goals from 31 appearances this season, finishing five goals ahead of Chelsea attacking midfielder Cole Palmer, who emerged as a surprise contender after leaving the Etihad Stadiumও for Stamford Bridge ahead oꦬf the 2023-24 campaign.
Haaland scored a single-season record 36 goals in his debut year in England and while he did not match those numbers this time around, h♏e ultimately prevailed with a comprehensive five-goal advantage over Palmer.
Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was in third place with 21 goals. There was🍸 a three-way tie for fourth place on 19 goals between Dominic Solanke, Phil Foden and Ollie Watkins.
Mohamed Salah (18 goals) and Son Heung-min (17) were also prominent high finishers, with Bukayo Saka♕ and Jarrod Bowen joined on 16 by Jean-Philippe Mateta on the final day of the season when he netted a hat-trick in Crystal Palace's 5-0 win over Aston Villa.
While Haaland claims award glory, it was Foden (two) and Rodri who scored the goals as Man City beat 🐷West Ham 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday to secure a historic fourth successive Premier League trophy.
But Haaland's goals had been cr♐ucial to getting City into a title-winning position.
The 23-year-old started the seaso🎀n with a bang, scoring eight goals in his first six top-flight appearances, including a hat-trick in the 5-1 win over Fulham in ꦬearly September.
While he battled an injury and a brief mid-season dip in forಞ🙈m, doubles against Manchester United and Chelsea kept the Norway forward in contention.
And Haaland ultimat💜ely pulled away from his Golden Boot rivals in the closing stages of the campaign.
The stri🌸ker scored four times in the 5-1 home win over Wolves this month to all but end the contest even before his pivotal double against Tottenham on Tuesday put Man City on 💫the brink of title glory.
Haaland matches the likes of Harry Kane, Salah and Robin van Persie as players to win th🔴e Golden Boot in consecutive seasons.
Thierry Henry has won the most Golden Boot crowns with four, while♑ Kane, Salah and Premier League record goalscorer Alan Shearer all have꧒ three apiece, with Haaland now just one behind that group.
The Playmaker of the Season award for the most Premier 🀅League assists went to Aston Villa str🅰iker Watkins.
As well as scoring his 19 goals, Watkins racked up 13 assists in a fine indivi🅺dual season, helping Villa to Champions League qualific𓄧ation.
He is the first Aꦿston Villa player to win the award since it began in the 2017-18 season.
Watkins finished two assists𓆉 ahead of Palmer (11), who comes second in both awards, while Kevin De ℱBruyne was part of a large group in a tie for third with 10 assists.
Man City's De Bruyne is a three-time winner and came close to topping the creativ♑e standings again despite missing much of the season through injury.
T🔯he Golden Glove winner is Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya, who fini🐻shed with a final tally of 16 clean sheets.
He is the Gunners’ first winner of the award since Petr Cech also kept 16 clean sheets for the Gunners in the 2015-16 season. Wojciech Szczęsny is anoth𝓀er former Arsenal winner.
Everton keeper Jordan Pickford was sﷺecond to R🍬aya with 13 shutouts.
Those two shot-stoppers did battle ဣon the final day, as Arsenal won 2-1 against Everton, but it was not enouওgh to stop the celebrations for Haaland and City.
