History maker! Man City’s scoring machine Erling Haaland becomes the first player EVER to be crowned Premier League’s Player of the Season AND Young Player of the Season in the same campaign
- The 22-year-old striker has had a towering first campaign in English top flight
- Haaland made the move from Borussia Dortmund to Man City in August 2022
- The Norwegian said that his bumper debut came as somewhat of a surprise
Erling Haaland has become the first player to be awarded both Player of the Season and Young Player of the Year in the Premier League‘s annual awards.
The two awards are just the latest the Norwegian striker will be able to add to his cabinet after winning the Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year in early May, and lifting his first Premier League trophy with Manchester City on Sunday.
Haaland has had a magnificent debut season in the English top flight, becoming the highest scoring player in a single league season after smashing Alan Shearer‘s 35-goal record in 36 appearances.
