De Bruyne, Arnold win premier league awards
By Rilwan Balogun
Kevin De Bruyne was voted winner of the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) award as he beat five other competitors.
De Bruyne shone like a million star in the 2019/2020 season, as he equalled Thierry Henry’s Premier League assist record.
The Belgian playmaker had 20 assists for Manchester City last season and was tipped earlier to cart home the award.
De Bruyne beat Manchester City teammate, Raheem Sterling and four Liverpool players – Sadio Mane, Virgil Van Dijk, Trent Alexander Arnold and Jordan Henderson to win the award.
In the Young Player of the Year category, Arnold carted home the award as a reward for a stellar season where he played a huge role in Liverpool’s unprecedented first triumph in the Premier League era.
