Mohamed Salah has been crowned men’s Footballer of the Year for the third time after his goals helped fire Liverpool to the Premier League title, with Arsenal and England striker Alessia Russo winning the women’s award for the first time.
Salah becomes the second player to win a hat-trick of awards from the Football Writers’ Association, joining Arsenal legend Thierry Henry on three wins. Salah won with 90 per cent of the vote, which the FWA said was the biggest winning margin this century.
