By winning both awards, 22-year-old Haaland becomes the first player to win both awards in the same season.
Haaland has scored 36 goals in 35 games this season, beating the previous Premier League record of 34 goals in a season, shared by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer and held for nearly three decades.
The Norwegian striker received the award thanks to votes from the public, the leaders of the twenty clubs in the league and a panel of football experts.
Haaland said: “I am honored to become the first player to win both awards in the same season. My first season was wonderful in the Premier League, and it was a very special moment for me last week when we were crowned in front of our fans at the Etihad Stadium.”
City players have won the award for 4 consecutive seasons, as Kevin De Bruyne won it in the 2019-20 and 2021-22 seasons and Robin Diaz in the 2020-2021 season.
Haaland outscored rivals De Bruyne, Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane and Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier.
Haaland was also named the Football Writers Association’s Player of the Year after receiving 82% of the vote.
Haaland has the chance to increase his league tally tomorrow, Sunday, when Manchester City take on Brentford at the end of the season.
