Salah becomes first player in Premier League history to finish a season with the most goals and assists AND win the Player of the Season award.

The Golden Boot award is awarded to the highest-scoring player of a Premier League season. Salah scored his 29th goal of the season in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace. He finishes the campaign with six goals more than the next-highest scorer, Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak.

It is the fourth different season that Salah has finished as the Premier League’s top scorer, equalling Arsenal legend Thierry Henry’s record for most Golden Boots.
Salah has also become the first player in history to win the Golden Boot, Playmaker and EA SPORTS Player of the Season awards.

Salah was voted on Saturday as the EA SPORTS Player of the Season, becoming only the fifth player in Premier League history to win the award in two different seasons, after Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidic and Kevin De Bruyne.

With his goal against Crystal Palace on the final day, Salah also matched the single-season record for most combined goals and assists by a player.

He moved level with Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole, who each produced 47 goal involvements, in 1994/95 and 1993/94 respectively, both of which were 42-match seasons.
