Foden scoops Premier League Young Player of the Season award
Manchester City's Phil Foden has been named the 2021-22 Premier League Young Player of the Season.
The England international, who was awarded the gong last term after helping Pep Guardiola's side to the title, picks it up for a second time after another fine season.
Foden is the first man to win the award in successive campaigns, and is feted for a season that saw him establish himself as a mainstay of the City squad.
Only Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne have featured for more minutes among the team's midfielders than the 21-year-old, who beat off stern competition for the prize.
Arsenal duo Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka were among those also shortlisted, as was Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Crystal Palace pair Conor Gallagher and Tyrick Mitchell, alongside Chelsea's Mason Mount and West Ham's Declan Rice, completed the eight-man nominee list.
Foden won the award after receiving the most combined votes from the public and a Premier League panel.
He has scored nine goals and assisted a further five in 27 top-flight outings this term, with 23 of those being starts.
