Phil Foden has won the PFA Young Player of the Year award, but Manchester City team-mate Kevin De Bruyne missed out on the top prize to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
De Bruyne was looking to become the first player to win three PFA Player of the Year awards with a third consecutive triumph. The City talisman enjoyed another outstanding season, finishing the campaign as the Blues’ top scorer and assist provider with 15 goals and eight assists.
The award, though, went to his Liverpool counterpart Salah, who ended the season as the Premier League’s joint-top scorer with 23 goals, as well as adding 13 assists. The Egypt international was one of three Reds on the shortlist, along with Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk, while Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo were also nominated.
