What is the Golden Boot award, and can it be shared?

The Premier League Golden Boot is an annual FA award that is presented to the highest goalscorer in the Premier League for that season.

In addition to the award, players are usually given £1,000 for every goal scored in order to donate to a charity of their choice.

Previous years have seen players like Robin Van Persie, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Dwight Yorke.

Thierry Henry currently has the most Golden Boots, having won the award on four occasions.

If players are tied on the same amount of goals, like last season, the award is shared between the players.
