Erling Haaland’s remarkable performance in Manchester City’s victory over Everton has left him bruised and battled, but he remains the undisputed frontrunner in the race for the Premier League top scorer award for the 2022/23 season.

With nine goals more than Harry Kane, who is his nearest competitor, Haaland has set a blazing pace with just three games played.

However, the Norwegian striker’s gritty display at Goodison Park came at a cost, as he revealed numerous scratches and bruises on his shoulders, shoulder blades, ribs, chest, and biceps after taking off his shirt.

Despite receiving close attention from the Everton defense, Haaland still managed to shine, scoring a goal that helped Manchester City secure a 3-0 victory. This goal takes his Premier League 2022/23 scoring record to 36, a significant distance ahead of Kane’s 27 goals.

In addition, Haaland has reached an incredible milestone by contributing to 60 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions for the Etihad Stadium team. This statistic is unmatched by any player in the top 5 European leagues.

Haaland’s performance against Everton has put Manchester City in a commanding position in the Premier League. With the club’s 3-0 win over Everton, coupled with Arsenal’s 0-3 loss at home to Brighton, Manchester City will become the Premier League champion for the 2022/23 season if they beat Chelsea at Etihad in the next round on May 21.

Manchester City is on track to achieve a historic treble, similar to Manchester United’s in the 1998/99 season. They are also aiming to equal their neighbor’s record of winning the Premier League for three consecutive seasons.

Haaland’s performance has been a key factor in Manchester City’s success this season, with his goals contributing significantly to the team’s success.

Despite being battered and bruised, Haaland’s determination and resilience have made him a formidable force on the pitch.

The Premier League is well-known for its competitiveness, and Haaland’s incredible performance this season has captured the attention of fans worldwide.

As the season draws to a close, all eyes will be on Manchester City and Haaland, as they look to secure their place in history with a treble and a third consecutive Premier League title.
