Aubameyang leads golden boot race

December 25, 2018 00:00:00


PARIS, Dec 24 (Agencies): Arsenal sharpshooter Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang took the African honours in Europe at the weekend by scoring twice to become the English Premier League leading scorer.

A brace from the Gabonese helped see off Burnley 3-1 at the Emirates and lifted his season tally to 12 -- one more than Liverpool and Egypt star Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane.

Liverpool sensation Mohamed Salah is looking to defend his title after a record-breaking haul of 32 goals last year nabbed him the prize, but Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is giving chase, while Man City duo Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling, along with Spurs star Harry Kane are in the mix too.

They are being followed closely by a chasing pack that includes Chelsea forward Eden Hazard, Brighton's Glenn Murray and Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic.
