With nine goals in his first seven Premier League games, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has started the season on fire.
While it is not his best start to a campaign - he scored 11 goals in his first seven games in 2022-23 and 10 last season - it still puts him three goals ahead in the early running for this season's Premier League Golden Boot.
The fact that none of his nine goals have been penalties makes it even more impressive.
Of course, injury could definitively intervene in the destination of the Golden Boot, but there are two reasons why Haaland is such a strong favourite for the award so early.
