For the first time in 20 years, the Premier League's Golden Boot award will be shared between three players, as the African trio of Mohamed Salah, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Sadio Mane finished the season with 22 goals.

Salah - last season's Golden Boot winner - led all scorers heading into the final day before Aubameyang scored a brace in Arsenal's victory over Burnley to draw level with the Liverpool superstar.

Salah's teammate, Mane, threw his name into the mix with a late goal in Liverpool's win over Wolverhampton to secure a spot atop the scoring chart.

There have been a pair of three-way ties for the top-scorer award in Premier League history.

Michael Owen, Dwight Yorke, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink shared the Golden Boot after finishing the 1998-99 campaign with 18 goals - which is the record for the fewest goals scored to win the award. There was also a three-way tie the previous season after Owen, Chris Sutton, and Dion Dublin ended the 1997-98 season with 18 goals as well.

The only other time in which there was a share for the lead was 2011 after Carlos Tevez and Dimitar Berbatov scored a league-leading 20 goals each.
