Another week concludes in the Premier League, with front-runner Erling Haaland back at the top, while Mohamed Salah returned from injury to maintain pressure for the Premier League Golden Boot. Dominic Solanke is still keeping hopes alive in third place after opening the scoring for Bournemouth at St. James’s Park, while a brace for Ollie Watkins helped shaky Aston Villa grab another 3 points away at Fulham.
Arsenal were rampant in both their travels, with Saka scoring a brace on both occasions, overtaking Son, who could not make an impact at home against Wolves. The league has come down to a point when its only going to get even more exciting as Liverpool (57), Manchester City (56) and Arsenal (55) are pretty much in the title race. And here are the Premier League Top Scorer after game week 25.
Erling Haaland | Manchester City | 17 goals
The Norwegian titan is in his own league and is flying at a rampant pace even in the 2023-24 campaign. He completed the list of scoring against every team after finding the back of the net versus Brentford. At this rate of consistency, there is a high chance he will be England’s notable hitman yet again this season.
Mohamed Salah | Liverpool | 15 goals
The Egyptian scored 19 goals last season, even in Liverpool’s sluggish form, showing the Egyptian had his moments. This year he is desperate to improve and has been clinical for the Reds, back on the scoresheet against Brentford to stay toe to toe for the ultimate prize.

Ollie Watkins | Aston Villa | 13 goals
Watkins has had three continuous seasons of noteworthy performances. An influential figure in Villa’s revival under Unai Emery, he has been given the freedom to expose his flair. His recent brace away to Fulham helped his side secure all 3 points. He scored 15 goals last season in the Premier League taking his side to the Europa League. This year is no different as his great form continues and keeps the momentum going.
Bukayo Saka | Arsenal | 12 goals
Saka has become one of the most exciting talents in the Premier League. His outstanding contribution to Arsenal’s title charge this season under Mikel Arteta has been notable. The 21-year-old scored 4 goals in 2 games for the Gunners, grabbing all the spotlight this year as well.
Son Heung-min | Tottenham Hotspur | 12 goals
Scoring 23 goals for his first Golden Boot seems to be a story of the past. The arrival of new boss Ange Postecoglou has given more responsibility to the number 7 as he became captain as well. Holding the team on his shoulders has not always been a pleasant journey for Son, but he does prove his worth when he gets a chance.
