Phil Foden has won the Premier League young player of the season award for the second successive year.
Foden, 21, has played a starring role again for Manchester City in their bid to win back-to-back Premier League titles, with nine goals and five assists.
That tally matches his figures from last season and he could improve on them against Aston Villa in City’s final game on Sunday.
