Eden Hazard and Harry Kane win big at the PFA Awards

In a revelation that shocked precisely no-one, Eden Hazard and Harry Kane were named as the PFA's player and young player of the year respectively last night Hazard was widely tipped to win the main prize after his excellent recent performances consolidated Chelsea's stranglehold on the Premier League title race. The 24-year-old has scored 18 times in all competitions but was characteristically humble when it came to the honour.

'I'm very happy,' the Belgian playmaker said. 'One day I want to be the best and what I did this season is play very well, Chelsea played very well.

'I don't know if I deserve to win but it is good for me. It is good, it is better to be voted by the players - they know everything about football. This is good. I'm very happy.'
