Overview

  • The Manchester City striker took the September award after five league goals and an assist across matches against Manchester United, Arsenal and Burnley, his fourth Player of the Month in just over three years.
  • Haaland has nine Premier League goals in seven games with none from penalties, leading the early Golden Boot race as data shows he tops the league for shot volume and chance quality.
  • He has reached 133 goals in all competitions for City to enter the club’s top-10 all-time scorers and sits on 94 Premier League goals in 104 appearances.
  • City’s attack has leaned heavily on him so far, with Haaland scoring about 60% of their 15 league goals and no teammate scoring more than once, a pattern analysts say could hinder title prospects if it continues.
  • On international duty he leads UEFA World Cup qualifying with nine goals as Norway top Group I, and mic’d-up training clips showed his vocal leadership, including calling out Oscar Bobb and joking with Thelo Aasgaard ahead of the Israel match.
