Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min shared the Premier League Golden Boot on Sunday after both forwards scored on the final day of the season.
South Koreaโs Son netted twice in Tottenhamโs 5-0 win at Norwich to move to 23 goals โ one clear of Salah, but the Egypt forward struck late in Liverpoolโs 3-1 win at home to Wolves.
Manchester Unitedโs Cristiano Ronaldo finished third with 18 goals in his first season back in the Premier League.
Salahโs goal was ultimately in vain as Jurgen Kloppโs team finished one point behind Manchester City, who scored three goals in five minutes to beat Aston Villa 3-2.
Tottenhamโs win secured a fourth-place finish, meaning they qualify for next seasonโs Champions League.
Son, 29, said it was โincredibleโ to have the award.
โI canโt believe it,โ he told the BBC. โI got really emotional. I dreamed of it as a child. Literally itโs my in hands. I canโt believe it.
โUntil my goal I was really frustrated that I missed big chances. I told the players I missed the easiest chances and scored one of the toughest ones.
โI didnโt give up. I wanted to score today. The team helped me a lot at half-time. They wanted to help me, you could see it today.โ
Spurs manager Antonio Conte was delighted to see club and individual ambitions realised with the rout of the Canaries at Carrow Road.
โThis was our target,โ he told the BBC.
โFirst to get in the Champions League but then when there was a chance to help Sonny reach the top scorer, we enjoyed it,โ the Italian added.
โI have seen his team-mates try to help him. The award is for Son but itโs for the whole team. They helped him reach this big achievement.โ
