From eight appearances in the Premier League stage this season, Haaland has scored 14 goals and provided three assists.

The striker nicknamed El Pistolero had won the Premier League’s top scorer title in the 2013/2014 season with a collection of 31 goals.
The top scorer title was complemented by Suarez with the English Premier League’s best player award in the same season.
