Jamie Vardy won the Golden Boot by scoring the most amount of goals in the Premier League 2019-20 season despite the final day disappointment, while Ederson bagged the Golden Glove.
Vardy, who could not find the back of the net on the final day, and missed the chance to make it to the Champions League with Manchester United beating Leicester City to it by a 2-0 scoreline.
However, with 23 goals to his name, Vardy came out on top in the list of most goalscorers.
Leicester City took to Twitter to post a photograph of Vardy with the award and congratulated him.
The 33-year-old Vardy had a two-goal lead at the top ahead of Southampton’s Danny Ings before the final match-day and sealed the award with 23 goals. He failed to get on the scoresheet in the final match against Manchester United on Sunday which meant Leicester missed out on Champions League football.
Vardy became the third Englishman since Kevin Phillips (2000) and Harry Kane (2016 and 2017) to win the golden boot since the turn of the century.
Didier Drogba was the previous oldest player to win the award at 32 when he led Chelsea to the Premier League title in 2009-10 with 29 goals. Drogba’s former teammate Nicolas Anelka is the only other player aged 30 to win the golden boot with Chelsea in 2008-09.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who finished joint-highest scorer last season with Liverpool’s Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, took second place with 22 goals alongside Ings. Ings’ superb season ended with 22 goals, scoring seven since the restart after the coronavirus lockdown.
