Premier League top goal scorers 2024/2025: EPL golden boot rankings as Wissa closes on top five
The 2024/25 Premier League season is seeing an intense battle for the top goal scorer, with Mohamed Salah leading the rankings with 28 goals, following Liverpool's decisive victory over Tottenham. Erling Haaland, despite topping the charts at the start, has been sidelined with an ankle injury, allowing Salah to take the lead and Newcastle's Alexander Isak to surpass Haaland into second place. The competition is being updated regularly, with assists serving as the first tiebreaker in the rankings. Historical context shows Erling Haaland's dominance in previous seasons, setting records like a 36-goal haul in 2022/23, surpassing legends like Alan Shearer. The Premier League's broadcasting rights span globally, with different regions accessing matches through various networks and streaming services.
Mohamed Salah is currently leading the Premier League goal-scoring chart for the 2024/25 season with 28 goals after a strong performance against Tottenham, placing him ahead of other contenders.
Erling Haaland, who initially dominated the top scorer chart, is out for much of the season due to an ankle injury, allowing others like Alexander Isak to overtake him in the rankings.
Assists are crucial in determining the top scorer in case of tied goals, with a lower minutes-per-goal ratio being the subsequent tiebreaker.
Historical records in the Premier League highlight Erling Haaland's remarkable achievement of 36 goals in the 2022/23 season, breaking previous records set by players like Alan Shearer.
The Premier League's global broadcasting rights are diverse, with coverage spanning from Sky Sports in the UK to Fubo in Canada, Optus Sport in Australia, and Star Sports in India.
Recent seasons have seen notable performances from players like Son Heung-min and Harry Kane, with competitive races for the Golden Boot often coming down to the final matches.
The league continues to be a major draw for audiences worldwide, offering streaming and TV options tailored to regional audiences, ensuring fans have access to live matches and updates.
The 2024/25 Premier League campaign has reached a pivotal stage of the season, and the race to finish as the competition's leading goal-scorer is also hotting up.
Last season saw Erling Haaland yet again dominate charts despite a mid-season injury. Cole Palmer, meanwhile, stunned the world as he surged to a second-place finish after a four-goal haul against Everton late in the season.
Haaland had long topped the charts, reaching 100 in all competitions for City by scoring against Arsenal, but his team's struggles opened the door to his closest challenger, Mohamed Salah, who is now clear at the top of the standings. Salah moved on to 28 for the season when Liverpool sealed their 20th English title with a 5-1 rout of Tottenham.
An ankle injury that will rule Haaland out of the majority of the season run-in means Salah has probably got the prize sewn up. Newcastle United frontman Alexander Isak has now gone past Haaland into second place.
The Sporting News will be updating the table below during every matchday of the 2024/25 Premier League season through to the final matches on May 25, 2024.
