The Premier League Golden Boot race remains fiercely competitive following the latest weekend fixtures in the 2025/26 season, with Manchester City's Erling Haaland maintaining a commanding lead.
As of Sunday, February 22, 2026 (after 2 p.m. GMT matches), Haaland tops the standings with 22 goals (including 3 penalties) in 27 appearances, adding 7 assists.The Norwegian superstar, a two-time previous winner, has shown resilience after a mid-season dip, recently finding the net consistently to extend his advantage.
His goals-per-90 rate of 0.88 and impressive shot volume (96 total shots) underline his dominance as the clear favorite to claim a third Golden Boot.
Trailing in second is Brentford's breakout star Igor Thiago, who has netted 17 goals (6 from penalties) in 26 matches, with just 1 assist.
The Brazilian forward has been prolific, but his tally leaves him 5 goals behind Haaland, requiring a strong run-in to challenge seriously.
Further back, Antoine Semenyo (now at Manchester City, previously Bournemouth) sits third with 13 goals (1 penalty) and 4 assists in 25 games.
Chelsea's Joao Pedro follows in fourth with 11 goals (no penalties) and 4 assists in 27 outings, while Hugo Ekitike of Liverpool rounds out the top five with 10 goals in 24 appearances.
