Man City midfielder Phil Foden has been named the PFA Player of the Year.

He defeated Erling Haaland, Rodri, Martin Ordergard, Ollie Watkins and Cole Palmer to the honour.

Foden scored 19 goals in 35 top-flight appearances last season, as City claimed a fourth successive EPL title.

Meanwhile, Palmer was named the Young Player of the Year.

This is the first time since 2010 that both awards have gone to English players.
