Erling Haaland Dominates Premier League Early Season Statistics

London, England — The 2025-26 Premier League season has reached a critical point with 20 clubs having played 10 matches, resulting in 268 goals and 22 penalties. Fans are buzzing with excitement, as statistical highlights reveal the dominating performance of Erling Haaland and the defensive prowess of Arsenal.

As of November 8, 2025, Haaland has scored more goals individually than half of the league’s teams. He has reached nearly 100 goals in the Premier League, and only 258 players have scored more in the league’s 137-year history. His remarkable scoring streak makes him a player to watch closely this season.

Meanwhile, Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta, is on track to set a new record for the fewest goals conceded in a Premier League season. The team could concede as few as 11 goals, surpassing Chelsea‘s previous record of 15 goals from 2004-05. Despite conceding to Haaland in a recent match, Arsenal has held off opponents since September.

Meritocracy is questionable in Merseyside, where Jack Grealish has posted twice as many assists at Everton than in his last two seasons at Manchester City. In contrast, Thierno Barry has yet to register a shot on target this season, leading to comparisons with former Everton player Bernard, who famously went 27 games without a shot on target.

Set pieces have risen in significance this season, with Brentford and Crystal Palace leveraging the long throw technique. Brentford leads with 50 long throws launched into the penalty area, while Palace has the highest expected goals from throw-ins at 2.1 xG, evenly distributed from both sides of the field.

The league table presents an unusual scenario, with Liverpool initially leading by five points, only for Arsenal to take over later. A congested league stands out, raising the stakes for every match ahead, especially for the three promoted teams that have already amassed 39 points, a substantial share of the total gained last season by relegated teams.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Haaland’s potential to challenge scoring records and whether Arsenal can maintain its defensive dominance. This season promises a mix of high-scoring games and strong defensive strategies as teams adapt to these emerging trends.
