Aubameyang Becomes 2nd African Player To Ever Win Bundesliga Golden Boot

Gabon/Borussia Dortmund striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang struck a late penalty on the final day of the season to finish as the Bundesliga's top scorer with 31 goals.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice to help his team beat Werder Bremen 4-3 - his first coming three minutes before the break and his second from the spot in the 89th minute.

It put the 27-year-old one goal ahead of Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski who failed to score in the German champions' 4-1 win over Freiburg. 

Aubameyang becomes only the second African player to win the golden boot in Germany after Ghana's Tony Yeboah achieved the feat twice whilst playing for Eintracht Frankfurt - in the 1992-93 season and the following year in the 1993-94 season.

Borussia Dortmund's victory over Werder Bremen gave them a third place finish in the Bundesliga and secured their automatic spot in the UCL group stage next season.
