Manchester City duo Phil Foden and Bunny Shaw have been voted men’s and women’s PFA Player of the Year respectively for last season at the PFA awards on Tuesday evening.
Foden, 24, was instrumental in City winning a fourth consecutive Premier League title, scoring 19 times and providing eight assists, and his achievements have now been recognised by his peers.
Jamaican forward Shaw was the top scorer in the Women’s Super League with 21 goals as City were edged out for the title on goal difference by Chelsea.
Cole Palmer has won PFA young player of the year
Chelsea attacking midfielder Cole Palmer has been chosen as the men’s PFA Young Player of the Year, with Manchester United midfielder Grace Clinton winning the women’s prize after her performances on loan at Tottenham last season.
Palmer was second only to City’s Erling Haaland in the Premier League scoring charts with 22 goals and also laid on more goals than any other Chelsea player – 11.
Clinton shone in a struggling Spurs side and contributed four goals and four assists in 20 WSL appearances.
Fara Williams, who is the most capped England player of all time, was one of two individuals whose career achievements were recognised with a PFA Merit award.
Williams won 172 caps for the Lionesses and scored 40 goals, helping England to third place at the 2015 World Cup while also playing for Team GB at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
