Sadio Mane, Joel Matip and Naby Keita won their first Premier League title, with Mane becoming the first-ever Senegalese footballer to win it, while Keita is the first Guinean star to do so.

Mohamed Salah, meanwhile, claimed his second EPL medal, having received one in 2014/15 when he made three league appearances for Chelsea in the first half of the campaign before being loaned out to Fiorentina. Jose Mourinho said at the time that the winger would get a replica winner's medal, making him the first Egyptian player to win the Premier League. He has now added a second EPL medal to his trophy cabinet, becoming the ninth African player to win the league more than once.

The first African to win the English top flight in its current format was Christopher Wreh. The Liberian was part of the Arsenal team that included the likes of Ian Wright, Dennis Bergkamp and Nicolas Anelka and won the double in 1997/98.

Didier Drogba is, to date, the most successful African in Premier League history, having won the title in 2004/05, 2005/06, 2009/10 and 2014/15. While he won the English top flight four times, Yaya Toure won it thrice with Manchester City in 2011/12, 2013/14 and 2017/18.

South African football fans will remember Quinton Fortune for his role in Manchester United's Premier League triumph in 2002/03. The former left-back is, to date, the only South African player to have won the English top-flight title – you can see all 19 African Premier League winners in the gallery above!
