Royal Antwerp's Mbokani wins Belgian First Division Golden Boot

Royal Antwerp striker Dieumerci Mbokani has won the 2019-20 Belgian First Division’s Golden Boot having scored 18 goals in 28 league games.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo international finished with the same number of goals as Canada youngster Jonathan David who plays for Gent, however, Mbokani was handed the prize for scoring the most away goals (six).

With this, he becomes the first Great Old player to claim the coveted honour since Francis Severeyns, who scored 24 times during the 1987-88 season.

He joins Tosin Dosumu (Nigeria), Joseph Akpala (Nigeria) and Hamdi Harbaoui (Tunisia) in the hallowed ranks of Africans who have won the highest goal-scorer award.
