EPL 2024/2025: Urgent Golden Boot Race After Isak’s Absence

Premier League top goal scorers 2024/2025: EPL golden boot rankings as Isak misses Arsenal match image

The 2024/25 Premier League season has entered a crucial phase, intensifying the battle for the title of top goal-scorer.

In the previous season, Erling Haaland was a standout performer, despite facing injuries midway through. On the other hand, Cole Palmer made headlines by finishing second after impressively netting four goals against Everton late in the season.

Haaland had maintained his lead for an extended period, hitting a milestone of 100 goals for City with a strike against Arsenal, but his team’s challenges have allowed Mohamed Salah to pull ahead, now comfortably leading the standings. Salah increased his tally to 28 when Liverpool clinched their 20th English title with a decisive 5-1 victory over Tottenham.

Due to an ankle injury sidelining Haaland for a significant part of the remaining matches, it seems that Salah is well-positioned to secure the Golden Boot. Meanwhile, Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak has surpassed Haaland to claim second place, as the latter failed to score during Manchester City’s draw against Southampton.

The Sporting News will consistently update the leaderboard below throughout the remainder of the 2024/25 Premier League season, culminating with the final matches on May 25, 2024.
