Luis Suárez & Eden Hazard Wins PFA Player & Young Player Of The Year Awards, + EPL Team Of The Year [PHOTOS]

Luis Suárez has been named the Professional Footballers' Association player of the year for 2013-14, becoming the first non-European to win the award, after an excellent season for Liverpool.

Suárez beat his club-mates Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge to the prize having scored 30 goals in the Premier League so far, including two hat-tricks and four in one match, propelling Liverpool to their best campaign in recent years and within striking distance of a first title since 1990.

Suárez was voted in by members of the PFA ahead of Chelsea's Eden Hazard in second and City's Yaya Touré in third. All the nominees for the individual top award were named in the team of the year.

An emotional Suárez dedicated the prize to his family and team-mates, insisting that Liverpool could still win the title this year. "The Premier League is full of really great players and so it is a great honour when these players recognise your work on the pitch," he said. "I always try my best for the team and it is nice to get awards but really this is for my team-mates and the staff at Liverpool because without their help I wouldn't have this prize. This is for my team-mates and staff and for my wife and children."

On Friday, Rodgers said of Suárez: "He is a really intelligent man who fits the values of this club, which is all about humility, class and he has all of that. He is a sheer winner and that probably overspilled last year but his development over the last year has been remarkable both on and off the field and Liverpool have benefited from that. For me he is the consistently outstanding player over the course of the last year."

Eden Hazard was named young player of the year ahead of Sturridge and Southampton's teenage full-back, Luke Shaw in second and third respectively. The 23-year-old Hazard has scored 14 goals in his second season for Chelsea and has produced some fine attacking performances under José Mourinho. The Belgian declared that he hoped to return from an injury for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Atlético Madrid.

He said: "It's always good to win awards because it means you've had a good season, but I prefer to win things collectively and I must say thank you to all my Chelsea team-mates, the staff and the fans."
