Liverpool's Mane, Salah Share Golden Boot With Arsenal's Aubameyang by ekeleboy(m): 10:41am On May 13, 2019 |
Liverpool's Sadio Mane and Arsenal's Pierre-
Emerick Aubameyang both scored twice on the
final Sunday to share the Premier League's
Golden Boot award for top scorer with last
season's winner Mohamed Salah.

The achievement of the three African strikers
left Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp especially
proud as he has played such an important part in
the development of the trio's careers.
They all ended on 22 goals for the league
campaign after Senegalese forward Mane scored
twice in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Wolverhampton
Wanderers to join his Egyptian teammate Salah.
Arsenal's Gabonese forward Aubameyang
followed his midweek Europa League semifinal
hat trick in Valencia with a second-half double
that helped the Gunners to a 3-1 win at Burnley.
Though Mane and Salah's 44 goals proved in
vain for Klopp as his side lost out on the league
title to Manchester City, who won 4-1 at Brighton
& Hove Albion, he had reason to smile.
"Auba too?" Klopp said, on learning that
Aubameyang, his former signing at Borussia
Dortmund, shared the accolade.
"Do they have three boots? It is good. They are
all my players."
The 22-goal winning mark was the lowest since
the 2010-11 season when Manchester United's
Dimitar Berbatov and Manchester City's Carlos
Tevez shared the Golden Boot with 20 goals
apiece.
Aubameyang was delighted over the trio's
African connection, and said: "I share this trophy
with two other guys I like, great players and
African. We are representing Africa, that's cool."

Salah, who had scored 32 goals last season, was
not as prolific this term as in his record-breaking
2017-18 campaign but both he and Mane
finished a goal ahead of champions Manchester
City's top marksman Sergio Aguero.
Of course, the Argentine, who matched Thierry
Henry in scoring 20 or more goals in five straight
seasons in the Premier League era, probably
netted the most crucial goal with his equaliser
at Brighton that set City on course for the title. |
