Last season, Haaland broke Salah’s record for most goals in recent Premier League history in his debut season. Haaland scored 36 goals compared to Salah's debut season, with Liverpool scoring 32 goals. Salah last season scored 19 goals.

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins cemented himself as one of the best strikers in the league by achieving impressive stats. Aston Villa defeated Sheffield United 5-0 away from home, and Watkins was a big part of that. He got two assists and one goal against Sheffield United today. Watkins now has 11 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League this season. He becomes the first player in the Premier League this season to record more than 10 or more goals and assists. He now has 21 goal contributions this season which is more to Haaland's 18 goal contributions. Watkins is one goal contribution short to Salah's 22.
