Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane as joint top scorers in the league in Arsenal's 3-1 win at Burnley. (2:07) Arsenal finished the season with a 3-1 victory over Burnley to ensure they finished above Manchester United in fifth place. A double from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave the Gunners control of the game, before Ashley Barnes pulled one back. However, Eddie Nketiah set the seal on the victory in stoppage time with his first career Premier League goal. - When are next season's Premier League fixtures revealed? Positives Aubameyang will be delighted that his brace meant that he was jointly awarded the Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. It capped a fantastic week for the striker, who scored five goals in the space of four days. Unai Emery will have been encouraged by the contributions of the youthful pair of Joe Willock and Eddie Nketiah, who both showed they are players of considerable promise. Negatives Ultimately this is a frustrating day for Arsenal. They finish just a single point off Spurs and the top four, and were it not for their dismal recent run they would easily have qualified for the Champions League. Aubameyang might also reflect on the missed penalty in the North London derby that arguably cost Arsenal the chance to finish above their rivals. Manager rating out of 10 7 -- Emery struck a good balance between rotation and consistency, fielding a strong enough side to get a positive result while also resting several key players for the Europa League final. Player ratings (1-10; 10 = best. Players introduced after 70 minutes get no rating) GK Bernd Leno, 7 -- The goalkeeper was involved in a gamelong tussle with Barnes, and largely had the better of it. His footwork was immaculate -- and one wonders whether that will have given Emery any pause for thought about his choice for the Europa League final. DF Stephan Lichtsteiner, 6 -- This was surely Lichtsteiner's final appearance in an Arsenal shirt. Given his age he was always a somewhat strange signing, and he'll presumably be released this summer. As it goes, this was one of his steadier displays. DF Shkodran Mustafi, 6 -- The much-maligned German made a brilliant first-half block to deny Matthew Lowton. However, he arguably allowed Barnes to evade him too easily at the near post when he brought Burnley back into the game. DF Konstantinos Mavropanos, 5 -- Arsenal's senior centre-halves are so poor that the fans can't help but invest their hopes in the potential of this young Greek defender. However, recent outings have suggested he is still some way short of the required level to start regularly in the Premier League. After a shaky start to this game, he was substituted with a first-half injury. DF Nacho Monreal, 6 -- Arsenal's captain on the day looked comfortable in his customary role as a left-back in a back four. Emery has historically preferred using a back four at his other clubs, so one would expect Arsenal to revert that system permanently next season. MF Matteo Guendouzi, 8 -- This felt like a good day for Guendouzi's development. It was an intense physical battle, yet he stood up to the challenge and emerged as the game's most influential midfield player. MF Mohamed Elneny, 7 -- This might have been an Arsenal farewell for Elneny, who has never really looked like being part of Emery's plans this season. This was a typical Elneny display: solid but unspectacular. MF Henrikh Mkhitaryan, 6 -- With debate surrounding whether or not Mkhitaryan will travel to Baku for the Europa League Final, this was not a performance that suggested Arsenal will particularly miss him if he fails to make the trip. MF Joe Willock, 7 -- On his first Premier League start, Willock produced an assured display. He's had a fantastic campaign with the Under-23 side, so it'll be interesting to see if Emery considers him part of the first team next season. MF Alex Iwobi, 8 -- After a quiet first half, Iwobi really grew into the game and became a constant threat down Arsenal's left flank. His assist for Aubameyang's second goal was a rare example of the Nigerian showing a cool head in the opponent's penalty area. FW Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 8 -- Arsenal's midweek hat trick hero began this game chasing the Golden Boot, and almost made a fantastic start when his header hit the angle of the post and bar. It was no surprise when it was the Gabon international who capitalised on a loose back pass to race clear and give Arsenal the lead. He pulled level with Salah when he smashed home Iwobi's cross -- and probably ought to have finished with a hat trick. Substitutes DF Laurent Koscielny, 6 -- Introduced for Mavropanos (34) and survived an injury scare to come through the game unscathed. FW Eddie Nketiah, 7 -- Introduced for Willock (62) and grabbed his first Premier League goal late on.<doc-sep>London (AFP) - The race to be crowned the English Premier League's leading scorer this season ended in a three-way tie on Sunday as the African trio of Sadio Mane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mohamed Salah shared the Golden Boot. Gabon forward Aubameyang scored twice for Arsenal at Burnley to join Salah and his Liverpool teammate Mane, who netted a final-day double against Wolves, on 22 goals for the Premier League season. Sergio Aguero, of champions Manchester City, was next in line with 21 goals. Salah has now won the award two seasons in a row but this term's winning tally was the lowest by players in English football's top-flight since 2010/11 when Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez shared the Golden Boot with 20 goals apiece. Aubameyang was delighted to be a member of an all-African trio of winners, saying in quotes reported by the BBC: "I share this trophy with two other guys I like, great players and African. We are representing Africa, that's cool. "I am happy we won, and I am sharing this trophy with two other guys I like. "My teammates knew about the Golden Boot, I said nothing. I did not want them to play and only focus on me. I am a team player." For Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp there was the satisfaction of knowing he had a played a part in the careers of all three of this season's Golden Boot winners, having signed Aubameyang from Saint-Etienne in 2013 when he was in charge of Dortmund. "Auba too? Do they have three boots?" said Klopp, who suffered the last-day heartache of seeing Liverpool finish just one point behind City. "It is good. They are all my players," the German added. Salah scored 32 league goals last season, a record for a 38-game Premier League campaign. The 26-year-old is the sixth player to win the Golden Boot award in consecutive seasons.<doc-sep>The Premier League Golden Boot for leading goalscorer will be shared between Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after all three finished on 22 goals. Liverpool forward Salah went into the final afternoon leading the way but was pegged back after his team-mate Mane scored twice in their 2-0 win over Wolves that proved not enough to win the title. Aubameyang scored twice in Arsenal's 3-1 win at Burnley to take his place at the top of the leaderboard. Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang receives his Premier League Golden Boot award having shared it with Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane on 22 goals Salah also received his Golden Boot following Liverpool's 2-0 win over Wolves at Anfield Salah and Sadio Mane are presented with the Golden Boot on the field at Anfield It is the first time three African players have shared the award. Manchester City's Sergio Aguero scored in their title-clinching 4-1 win at Brighton but will have to settle for second spot in the Golden Boot race with 21 goals. Though Salah finished the season with more assists than his two rivals, this isn't taken into account so all three will share the honour. Indeed, a beaming Aubameyang was presented with his accolade after being presented with it at Turf Moor. It is the third time this has happened in Premier League history - Chris Sutton, Michael Owen and Dion Dublin shared it in the 1997-98 season and Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink, Michael Owen and Dwight Yorke were tied in 1998-99.

Mane played 3,085 minutes of league action with his goals coming every 140 minutes, while Salah played 3,256 minutes and scored every 148 minutes on average. City secured the Premier League title for the second consecutive season with a 4-1 win at Brighton. They fell behind to a Glenn Murray header in the first-half at the same time Liverpool were leading Wolves 1-0 thanks to Mane's first goal. But Pep Guardiola's team stormed back to score four times - through Aguero, Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan - to wreck Liverpool's hopes of a first title win since 1990.<doc-sep>Sign up to FREE email alerts from Football London - Arsenal Invalid Email Something went wrong, please try again later. Subscribe Thank you for subscribing We have more newsletters Show me See our privacy notice Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finds himself in illustrious company indeed. For all the exceptional strikers to have donned the red of Arsenal in the past 25 years only two have ended a season as the Premier League's top scorer with 22 goals of his name. The Gabon striker has achieved something Ian Wright, Dennis Bergkamp, Emmanuel Adebayor and Alexis Sanchez could not, though his award will be shared with Liverpool duo Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. Only Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie had previously won the Golden Boot in an Arsenal shirt. Undoubtedly Aubameyang is the best pure finisher the Gunners have had since the latter of that duo. The likes of Martin Keown have even argued that Aubameyang gets them off their seat like no-one since his fellow No.14, Henry. Yet celebrations of Aubameyang's outstanding feats this season have been tinged with a question: what about the chances he missed? Most significantly the penalty at Wembley that, had it been scored, would have propelled Arsenal beyond Tottenham and into fourth place. There were others. Even today he spurned a hat-trick on multiple occasions, to skew Henrikh Mkhitaryan's cross wide from little more than a few metres out and in the centre of the goal was an achievement on ball striking on a par with the explosive volley that brought him his second goal. According to Understat Aubameyang is one of only three players in the Premier League's top nine scorers whose goal return is less than his expected goals - ie that the Arsenal top scorer ought to have scored more goals (23.55 to be precise) than he actually tucked away this season. (Image: GLYN KIRK/AFP/Getty Images) That is as maybe but while he misses chances you cannot help but want for some more players in this Arsenal team to create chances for him and Alexandre Lacazette. Even this victory was a case in point. Alex Iwobi might have provided Aubameyang's second with a delicately lofted ball in from the left but it came after a string of atrocious deliveries in the first half that either found the first Burnley defender or looped straight out of play. Henrikh Mkhitaryan didn't even have an assist to point to. Whatever understanding he and Aubameyang had at Borussia Dortmund seems to have been forgotten now at a time when it is a struggle to quite comprehend what it is the Armenian does. Arsenal want to sign a winger this season and no wonder. Whether Bournemouth's Ryan Fraser is the player to take the club to the next level is up for debate but the Premier League's second most effective assist provider this season would certainly give Aubameyang far better service than much of the current squad. Still to judge Aubameyang by what might have been is to do a disservice to a player who has proven to be infinitely less trouble than Borussia Dortmund had warned he might be after going on strike to force his way to London. Indeed as his close partnership and friendship with Lacazette and mentorship of Eddie Nketiah and Matteo Guendouzi have proven, the ruthless goal-getter is a consumate team-mate. Even in a moment of potential personal triumph Aubameyang refused to make the trip to Turf Moor about him. "I said nothing to the guys because I didn't want them to only focus on me," Aubameyang said of his Golden Boot chase. "I'm a team player and if I weren't scoring, it wouldn't have mattered. But I scored and I'm really happy for that. "I have to be thankful to the team." (Image: James Benge/football.london) And for all that this team player sometimes wastes the chances his colleagues put on a plate for him you can be sure that if a goal is required he will come up big... and with the sort of style that changes the tone of a game. He may have missed that penalty in Arsenal's Wembley meeting with Tottenham but his blistering brace in the first game inspired his side on their course to what is undeniably their best win of the season so far. The second, that instinctive, first-time thraker of a low shot, was typical of Aubameyang at his best this term. His brilliance served to inspire his team-mates, in this instance to rattle through Spurs in swift fashion. Similarly when Arsenal looked to be in real danger in Valencia on Thursday night it was a moment of instinctive finishing from Aubameyang that turned the tie on its head, that saved Arsenal's blushes. For a fanbase that had lived in a state of continual tension in the final years of Arsene Wenger's reign there is something utterly joyous about a player like Aubameyang, whose stock traffic is extraordinary goals, who celebrates them by donning your favourite comic book character's mask, whose shin pads are works of manga-inspired art. Aubameyang might have fluffed his lines on more occasions this season than a Golden Boot winner usually might. This has not been a season of sustained, unrepeatable goalscoring excellence of the like Salah achieved a year ago. Yet that need not be a stick to beat the 30-year-old with. After all, if this is what Aubameyang's output is like when the half-chances and breaks aren't going his way, imagine what Arsenal could achieve when luck is on his side.

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. - Ogden: Epic title race decided by millimetres - Ames: City pass test of character to clinch title glory - What you may have missed on Premier League's final day 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." African and proud!! Sharing the golden boot with my 2 brothers @MoSalah & Sadio Mané ☝🏽🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/o3n2KQmCRl — Aubameyang P-E (@Aubameyang7) May 12, 2019 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." - Man City ratings: Laporte, Gundogan both 8/10 as title clinched - Liverpool ratings: Laporte, Gundogan both 8/10 as title clinched - When are next season's Premier League fixtures revealed? 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.
