Norwegian forward Erling Haaland has ascended to the top of the English Premier League goalscorer chart after leading his team, Manchester City, to victory over Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the competition. Haaland scored a hat-trick, contributing to his team's 4-2 win. With this trio of goals, Haaland reached his sixth goal in the Premier League, temporarily taking the lead in the scoring race.
Meanwhile, Egyptian Mohamed Salah missed a golden opportunity to increase his goal tally and improve his standing among the top scorers, failing to score in Liverpool's overwhelming 9-0 victory over Bournemouth. As a result, Salah remains in seventh place in the goalscoring rankings with two goals.
Leeds United's striker Rodrigo is in second place with four goals, while four players share third place: Pascal Groß of Brighton, Aleksandar Mitrović of Fulham, Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace, and Luis Díaz of Liverpool.
