Overview

  • The Manchester City striker earned the award after five league goals and one assist in September, including a brace against Manchester United and a late double versus Burnley.
  • Haaland leads the Premier League scoring chart with nine goals in seven matches this season.
  • His September haul pushed him to 133 goals in all competitions for City, placing him among the club’s top 10 all-time scorers.
  • For Norway, he tops UEFA World Cup qualifying with nine goals in five games as the group leaders face Israel next with a chance to move closer to automatic qualification depending on Italy’s results.
  • Analysts note City’s heavy reliance on Haaland for goals so far — around 60% of their Premier League total — with no teammate scoring more than once in the league to date.
