Robin van Persie has been awarded the Premier League Golden Boot after a superb campaign in which he has scored 30 league goals in 37 games.
The Arsenal captain enjoyed a sensational season, winning both the PFA Player of the Year award and the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award.
On Sunday, the Dutch striker collected his third prize of the campaign after becoming just the seventh Arsenal player to reach 30 league goals in a season, and only the third in the post-war era after Thierry Henry in 2003/04 and Ronnie Rooke in 1947/48.
