Premier League top goal scorers 2022-2023: Updated golden boot rankings as Haaland sets record

By | May 6, 2023

Manchester City star Erling Haaland has set a new Premier League single-season record with his 35th goal against West Ham on May 3. And he has five more matches remaining in the season to pad the new mark. 

The former record was held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer, who both scored 34 goals in separate seasons, but each did it during a 42-match campaign. The 2022/23 Premier League seasons runs 38 matches.

The City striker has a 9-goal lead over Harry Kane (26 goals), who won the Golden Boot on three previous occasions. Ivan Toney has hit the 20-goal mark, while last season’s joint-top scorer Mohamed Salah has slowly risen up the ranks to fourth.

Surging up the table, meanwhile, are Newcastle strikers Callum Wilson (15 goals) and Aleksandar Isak (10 goals), with the former scoring a brace against Southampton. Arsenal have four players in the Top 15.

As was the case throughout last season, The Sporting News will update the top scorers’ table below, with assists and minutes played serving as the first and second tiebreakers as per major European tournaments run by UEFA.

Premier League odds to win Golden Boot

Who did the sportsbooks think was the frontrunner for the top scorer title in England at the start of the season? It was Haaland ahead of everyone else. 

Previous winners Salah and Kane were considered to be in with a good shot, both ahead of their other star teammates Nunez (Liverpool) and Son (Tottenham).

Cristiano Ronaldo clocked in with the seventh best odds to be the scoring king in England prior to his move to Al Nassr.

Premier League Golden Boot table 2021/22

It came down to the final day of the 2021/22 season between Tottenham’s Son Heung-min and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. Son’s two goals at Norwich City on the final day allowed him to momentarily move ahead of Salah in the scoring table. But the Liverpool star came off the bench and netted late to catch Son, as the two stars shared the Golden Boot on 23 goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo (18 goals) was charging hard down the final stretch, but he ultimately came up short. Salah’s Liverpool’s teammates, Sadio Mane (16 goals) and Diogo Jota (15 goals), finished even further behind. And Manchester City had eight players with seven or more goals on the list. Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy, who were the previous two Golden Boot winners, were also top 10 finishers.
