On the night of March 3, Erling Haaland did not play well when he missed a series of good opportunities, including a shot that went over the bar from 3 meters away. However, the Norwegian striker still scored his 18th goal in the Premier League this season. Starting from a loss of the ball by Sofyan Amrabat of MU, Haaland escaped and defeated Andre Onana with a neat shot.
The former Dortmund star continues to maintain the number one position in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot. However, the gap between Haaland and the second place is only 2 goals. Not Mohamed Salah, the name that is following Haaland is Ollie Watkins.
The Aston Villa star has just scored a brace against Luton, thereby increasing his record this season to 16 goals. In the last 3 matches, Watkins has accelerated strongly and scored 5 goals.
Haaland should have scored more against Man Utd.
2023/24 is the most sublime season of Watkins' career. With 27 appearances, he has surpassed his own achievement in the entire 2022/23 season (15 goals in 37 matches). Not to mention Watkins also contributed 10 assists for his teammates to score.
Prior to the 2023/24 season, Watkins had never scored more than 15 Premier League goals. He had previously scored 26 goals for Brentford in the 2019/20 First Division season.
Salah is ranked 3rd in the list of top scorers with 15 goals. Ranked 4th is the English duo, Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth) with 14 goals each.
Last weekend, Son Heung-min also burst into emotion when scoring his first goal in 2024 in the Premier League. He increased his number of goals this season to 13, equal to Arsenal's young star Bukayo Saka.
