Erling Haaland’s historic season in the Premier League this season has been one for the books. The 22-year-old Manchester City star has broken records upon records. Erling Haaland has become one of the most formidable players in the world today. In just his debut season, Haaland broke the goal-scoring record in the Premier League. He managed to surpass Andy Cole’s long-standing record of 34 goals scored in the 1993-94 season, with 35 goals. This record becomes even more impressive when noting that there are still four league fixtures left to play.

Along with that, he has also broken the previous record of goals scored in a season by a Premier League player, with 51 goals across all competitions. Following this record-breaking season, Haaland has also won a prestigious award breaking yet another long-standing record.

The Norwegian international has won the prestigious FWA Footballer of the Year award. Not only did he win the award, but he was the clear-cut winner, with an 82% majority of the votes. This is the biggest margin of victory in the 75-year history of the award since its inception in 1947.

In addition, Haaland is also the fourth player to ever receive the FWA award in their first season playing in England. The Premier League witnessed history be made amidst the arduous season of 2022-23. And the records of Haaland’s season do justice to it.
