Liverpool star Suarez named PFA Player of the Year

Their title dreams may have hit a significant roadblock yesterday but there was a measure of consolation for Liverpool last night as Luis Suarez was named the Professional Footballers Association’s (PFA) Player of the Year.

The 27-year-old has been the driving force behind Liverpool’s title assault this term, scoring 30 goals despite missing the first six games of the campaign as part of his punishment for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic.

That contribution was enough to see the Uruguayan win the prestigious gong at an awards ceremony at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.
