It’s a weird feeling to think that ending on just 36 goals is slightly underachieving for him.
4 weeks ago I think we all would have put good money on him getting 40 and obliterating the record.
Cannot wait for next season and I think he’ll be the difference in the next two games and truly write his name in our history.
First ever player to win both Premier League's Player & Young Player of the Seasom awards.
Did he? The PL young player of the year was first awarded in 2020, wasn’t bale dead by then?Not to be that guy but Bale won both in the same season aswell.
Yeah it has just been made up, so hardly an outstanding fact.Did he? The PL young player of the year was first awarded in 2020, wasn’t bale dead by then?
That was the PFA Young Player award. The Premier League one is only a few years old, as someone else mentioned. I've seen a lot of sad acts on Twitter and elsewhere trying to bash Haaland saying Bale already did it, but it's not technically the same award. Haaland is correct and he's the first player to win these two specific awards in the same year.Not to be that guy but Bale won both in the same season aswell.
Not the official Premier League ones he didn’t.Not to be that guy but Bale won both in the same season aswell.

He'd have got two more if he hadn't let Mahrez and Gundogan take a penalty each when he was on the pitch at the time.He got his 36 league goals in 33 starts. He was subbed off 12 times. Subbed on twice.
BBC website says he went 77 minutes per goal, which is the equivalent game-time of just over 30 games
Little edit for you.I'm seeing lots of chatter about how Kane scoring 30 is just as impressive as Haaland's 36. Here is what they don't tell you:
Seasons played in PL:
Kane 11
Haaland 1
Number of PL trophies:
Kane 0
Haaland 1
