Chelsea's
Tammy Abraham and Arsenal Women's Vivianne Miedema scooped the top prizes at
the London Football Awards on Thursday.
Abraham landed a prestigious double after being named Premier League and
Young Player of the Year.
The 22-year-old England international, who has scored 15 goals for the club
to date this season, beat off competition from Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang and last year's winner Heung-Min Son to claim the main prize,
while he edged out team-mate, Mason Mount, to lift the junior award.
Arsenal Women's Miedema won the Women's Player of the Year title for the
second-successive year, after spearheading her club side to the Women's
Super League title and leading the Netherlands to the 2019 Women's World Cup
final.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank took the manager's prize in a field which also
included Frank Lampard and Roy Hodgson.
Watford's Ben Foster was named Goalkeeper of the Year and Brentford won
again as Ollie Watkins took home the EFL Player of the Year award.
There was special recognition too for QPR's director of football Les
Ferdinand, who was honoured for his outstanding contribution to football in
London.
The former England frontman, who had spells with QPR, Brentford, Tottenham,
West Ham, Reading and Watford during his playing career and has worked at
Spurs and Rangers since his retirement, joins previous winners Glenn Hoddle,
Ian Wright, Frank Lampard, John Terry and Arsene Wenger on the roll of
honour.
