According to the rules, the Golden Boot can also be shared if more than one player has scored an equal amount of goals in the season. This was precisely what happened in 2018-2019 Premier League season: three players tied for the award. In a thrilling turn of events, they all turned out to be Africans, which proves once again that Africa produces a lot of brilliant footballers. Such twists rarely happen because usually there is only one winner, with some rare exceptions. The last time three players tied for the award was in the 1998-1999 season when it happened with Michael Owen, Dwight Yorke and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank. Also, the last time when Golden Boot award had multiple winners occurred in the 2010-2011 season – Carlos Tevez and Dimitar Berbatov both took home the award in that edition of the Premier League. The Golden Boot winners EPL are three players, all of whom are from Africa: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. Two of them, Salah and Mane, are from Liverpool, while Aubameyang is from Arsenal. Before the final match day, it was Salah who led the top scorer table, but Aubameyang and Mane managed to score a goal each, and in the end, they all got an equal amount of goals – 22. Their positions only differed by the number of assists: Salah had 8, Aubameyang succeeded in 5, and Mane only managed 1 to his name.
