Kevin de Bruyne named PFA player of the year

Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has been named the PFA Player of the Year. 

The Belgian beat competition from his City teammate Raheem Sterling, and Liverpool quartet Jordan Henderson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk.

De Bruyne is just the second Belgian to win the award, and the first ever City player to do so.

Alexander-Arnold's consolation is being voted PFA Young Player of the Year by his fellow professionals.

It's De Bruyne's second major award following a 2019-20 season in which he scored 13 goals and provided a record-equalling 20 assists for his teammates.

He'd previously been named the Premier League's player of the season.

Chelsea's Bethany England was named Women's Player of the Year. While Manchester City's Lauren Hemp won the Young Women's Player gong.

Liverpool dominate the Premier League team of the Year, with Andrew Robertson joining his fellow Player of the Year-nominated colleagues.

Leicester's Caglar Soyuncu breaks up a Liverpool-heavy back-four, with Nick Pope picked in goal.

Henderson and De Bruyne are joined in midfield by David Silva, with Jamie Vardy, Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and Mane up front.

As expected, champions Leeds United provide the majority of the Championship team of the year.

Defenders Luke Ayling, Ben White and Liam Cooper are included, along with new England cap Kalvin Phillips.

Eoin Doyle is the Republic of Ireland's only representative in the four male teams of the year.

After 25 goals for Bradford and Swindon, the former Sligo Rovers striker is named in the League Two team of the year.
