Mohamed Salah wins the PFA Player of the Year award for the second time as Liverpool star beats Kevin De Bruyne to deny the Manchester City midfielder a third consecutive victory

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been named the PFA Player of the Year to end Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne's run after winning it the last two years.

Salah, the joint-top goalscorer in the Premier League last term with 23 goals, was also chosen ahead of Liverpool team-mates Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk.

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Tottenham's Harry Kane were the others nominated for the prestigious annual award, which is voted for by the players.

Salah enjoyed another superb season as he scored 23 goals in the Premier League and also helped Egypt to the Africa Cup of Nations crown in February, but could not guide Liverpool to the title as they were runners-up to City.
