Oshoala wins Golden Boot with Barcelona Femeni

Nigeria striker Asisat Oshoala has emerged as the top scorer in the women’s Spanish Primera Division with Barcelona Femeni.

The 27-year-old scored 20 goals in 19 league appearances and will share the award with Brazilian Geyse Ferreira, who also scored 20 goals in 27 appearances for Madrid CFF.

The award was confirmed on Sunday after Barcelona finished the season with a 2-1 victory against Atletico Madrid.

Oshoala was introduced in the 63rd minute for Jenifer Hermoso but she could not add to her tally of goals.

Oshoala moved to Barcelona in July 2019 from Arsenal.
