Mohamed Salah has shared the Premier League s Golden Boot award with Liverpool team-mate Sadio Mane and Arsenal s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Salah went into the final day of the season two clear of the chasing pack but he failed to find the net as Manchester City retained the title ahead of the Reds.
The Egypt star could not match his incredible return of 32 Premier League goals from last term, but 22 was enough to share the award with two fellow Africans.
Aubameyang hit a double in Arsenal s 3-1 win at Burnley while Mane scored both Liverpool goals in their 2-0 home win against Wolves on Sunday.
Here it is!
Congratulations, Auba golden boot winner 2018/19

Australia midfielder Massimo Luongo believes Brisbane hosting Thursday s Asia Cup quarter-final against China will work to his team s advantage.
The Socceroos missed out on a Melbourne quarter-final against Uzbekistan after losing 1-0 to South Korea at Brisbane s Suncorp Stadium on Saturday.
That now pits the tournament hosts against a red-hot China side, who won all three Group B matches under the guidance of Alain Perrin.
And the Socceroos now know they will face reigning champions Japan in the semi-finals if both win their last-eight clashes.
Japan play the United Arab Emirates on Friday.

Marcus Rashford s strike earned Manchester United a 1-0 win at Real Betis and a straightforward route into the Europa League quarter-finals as they advanced 5-1 on aggregate.
Erik ten Hag s side did the hard work last week in a crushing 4-1 victory, leaving Betis with a huge mountain to climb in Thursday s second leg at Estadio Benito Villamarin.
Betis edged a first half in which both sides hit the woodwork, but Rashford s 27th goal of the campaign completely killed off the tie shortly after the break.
With their slim hopes punctured, LaLiga s fifth-placed side offered little in response as United comfortably booked their place in the last eight.
We all know what happens next… ||

Leaders Barcelona opened the door for Atletico Madrid in the LaLiga title race as they were surprisingly held to a 1-1 draw away at relegation-threatened Las Palmas.
After Antoine Griezmann inspired Atletico to a 4-0 win on Wednesday, Ernesto Valverde s side knew a win would restore their seven-point cushion before they face their nearest rivals at the Camp Nou on Sunday.
Lionel Messi thundered in a 21st-minute free-kick to put Barcelona in front and, in the process, score for the first time at the Estadio Gran Canaria.
However, the struggling hosts were gifted the chance to equalise straight after the break, Jonathan Calleri confidently converting a penalty after Matias Aguirregaray had seemingly been fouled at a corner, and Barca could not find a way to r…
Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller has signed a new deal at Borussia Dortmund to keep him at the club until 2016.
Weidenfeller has made nearly 300 appearances for Dortmund in an 11-year spell with the club and has been a key figure in their charge to the UEFA Champions League final this season.
Juergen Klopp s men face Bayern Munich in the final at Wembley on May 25 and Weidenfeller had no hesitation in signing a new deal with a club which has undergone a rapid transformation in recent times.
Transferring to another club had never crossed my mind, said Weidenfeller.
What has grown here at Dortmund over the past few years is a uniquely positive football story which I want to play a big part in writing in the years to come.
I am proud to be part of this s…
While might have once again praised his side’s display at Goodison Park on Saturday evening, it was another day to forget for Arsenal.
Slumping to a 2-1 defeat against on the road and now in the midst of their worst start to a top-flight campaign since 1974, the Gunners are a club in the midst of a real crisis.
Collecting just 14 points since opening the 2020/2021 campaign and firmly looking over their shoulder at the drop zone, it is no surprise that many around North London are calling for a change in the dugout.
While Pep Guardiola’s former right-hand man might have guided Arsenal to lifting the FA Cup over the summer, Arteta faces a string of issues both on and off the pitch, something even the most experienced managers would find a challenge.

Danny Welbeck insists his only concern is finishing the season strongly with Arsenal despite boosting his World Cup hopes with a match-winning display against Southampton.
The forward had failed to score a Premier League goal in 2018 but struck twice in his side s 3-2 triumph at the Emirates Stadium, including heading in the winner in the 81st minute.
He has been beset by injury problems in the past two seasons and he has rarely figured for England since playing a leading role in the qualifying campaign for Euro 2016.
However, in the absence of Harry Kane through injury, national boss Gareth Southgate included the former Manchester United player for the friendlies against Netherlands and Italy in March.
Welbeck s recall suggests he is in contention …
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has revealed that the club are close to appointing Carlo Ancelotti and capturing Isco from Malaga.
Ancelotti is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain to replace Jose Mourinho at the helm, while Real have seen off competition from Manchester City to capture highly rated attacker Isco.
On the Spanish club s probable new manager, Perez told 20Minutos: Now nothing has been signed.
PSG could announce an agreement tomorrow which would allow him to join Madrid. We hope that everything turns out well. My coach is Ancelotti.
The signing depends on Paris Saint-Germain reaching an agreement with Ancelotti and announce their new coach, (Laurent) Blanc.
And regarding the signing of Isco, he added: He has a big chance to be a Real Madri…
Jack Wilshere scored as Arsenal booked their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League with a 2-0 win over Montpellier.
Over a year of injury-ravaged frustration was etched on Wilshere s face as he celebrated poking Arsenal ahead in the 49th minute before Lukas Podolski sealed the win with a stunning volley on 63 minutes.
Schalke s win over Olympiakos on Wednesday means Arsenal are guaranteed a place in the second round ahead of their final Group B fixture in Athens on December 5.
Arsene Wenger s side dominated from the outset and nearly opened the scoring in the 10th minute, only for Laurent Koscielny s header to rattle against the crossbar.
The only other half-chances of note in the first half at Emirates Stadium fell to Podolski, who scuffe…
Edin Dzeko has weighed in on the racist abuse faced by Inter team-mate Romelu Lukaku, calling it something that should never happen on the football pitch .
Belgium forward Lukaku was abused by Juventus supporters during an ill-tempered Coppa Italia semi-final first-leg last week.
It came against the backdrop of a particularly violent 1-1 encounter, with both Samir Handanovic and Juan Cuadrado also shown red cards for their part in a brawl.
Ahead of the return leg later this month, Dzeko acknowledged the events were things that should not have been allowed to take place, while outlining Inter s wider cup ambitions.
During the match, some things happened that never should on the football pitch, he told N1. They have already been spoken and written about.
