The Premier League Golden Boot may have been shared among three players - but when it comes to the most deadly finishers, one name stands alone. Well, just.

Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were the most prolific scorers over the course of the 2018-19 season, all finishing with 22 goals.

Liverpool star Mane is also one of the most efficient strikers in the division - scoring with more than one in every four shots he takes (25.3 per cent).

But that isn't enough to secure him top spot. Manchester United's Anthony Martial is statistically the most clinical of all the players in the Premier League with at least five goals to their name.

The France international netted 10 goals this season, having taken only 39 shots in his 27 appearances for United this season. 

That gives him a shot-conversion rate of 25.6 per cent, which is higher than anyone else in the English top flight. That wasn't enough to take Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side into the top four, though.

Mane is second, with Glenn Murray of Brighton the surprise name in third on 24.1. Just behind him in fourth is Aubameyang, whose 22 goals came from only 94 shots (23.4 per cent).
