Erling Haaland has once again written his name into Premier League history after being crowned Player of the Month for September, further cementing his status as one of football’s most dominant forces. The Manchester City striker’s relentless scoring form and consistent match-winning performances have set him apart from the rest of the league.
Across the month, Haaland delivered a series of standout performances that powered City’s strong start to the 2025/26 campaign. The 25-year-old began September in spectacular fashion with a brace in the 3-0 Manchester derby victory over United, before adding another decisive strike in the 1-1 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. His month concluded in typically ruthless style, netting two late goals in the 5-1 win over Burnley at the Etihad Stadium.
Those performances took Haaland’s tally to 133 goals in all competitions for Manchester City, moving him into the club’s top-10 all-time scorers. His dominance was recognised by pundits such as Jamie Carragher, who recently described the Norwegian as “the greatest goalscorer to ever play in English football.”
The Norwegian’s output of five Premier League goals and one assist throughout September saw him beat competition from Daichi Kamada (Crystal Palace), Yankuba Minteh (Brighton), Robin Roefs (Sunderland), Granit Xhaka (Sunderland), and Martin Zubimendi (Arsenal) to claim the honour.
In his reaction to the award, Haaland told the club’s official website, “I’m really happy to win this award for a fourth time. It always means a lot, so thank you to everyone who voted for me. I also want to thank my teammates, the coaches, and all the staff – we do everything together.”
He added, “September was an important month for us as a team. We played some really good football, stayed unbeaten, and got important wins for our fans. I’m happy I could help the team with goals and performances.”
“Now we just keep going – keep working hard every day, because there’s a tough schedule after the international break. Hopefully we can keep the same level and win even more games.”
Haaland’s latest recognition is the fourth Player of the Month award of his Premier League career, continuing a trend of remarkable consistency since joining Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022. He now holds 94 Premier League goals, the most ever by a Norwegian player, and continues to chase down the legendary tallies of Alan Shearer and Harry Kane.
With City heading into a congested post-international break schedule, Haaland’s form could prove vital in maintaining the club’s momentum across domestic and European fronts. His extraordinary goal-scoring rate and leadership up front remain pivotal as Pep Guardiola’s side aim to reclaim the Premier League title and challenge for continental glory.
