Jurgen Klopp's reaction to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang winning Golden Boot

Jurgen Klopp revealed his surprise in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang winning the Golden Boot alongside Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

Both Aubameyang and Mane were trailing Salah by two goals in the race to be the English top flight's number one marksman this season.

But both players netted twice in Arsenal's win over Burnley and Liverpool's victory over Wolves respectively to draw them level with Salah for the season.

When all the final whistles sounded on Sunday for the last time this season, all three stars were handed their own Golden Boot award.

Klopp was asked about Liverpool duo Salah and Mane after the Reds narrowly missed out on winning a first Premier League title.
