Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Arsenal striker Alessia Russo have won the Football Writers' Association awards for men's and women's player of the season.

Salah has scored 28 goals and provided 18 assists to help Liverpool win the Premier League title, breaking the record for the most goal involvements in a single 38-game Premier League campaign.

The Egyptian also scored three goals and provided four assists as Liverpool reached the last 16 of the Champions League.

Last month the 32-year-old signed a new two-year contract to stay at Anfield until 2027.

Salah won 90% of the votes cast by over 900 FWA members, marking the biggest winning margin this century.

Liverpool team-mate Virgil van Dijk came second in the vote, with Newcastle striker Alexander Isak third and Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice fourth.

Salah joins Thierry Henry as the only player to win the award three times.

Russo beat last year's winner Khadija Shaw to become the second Arsenal player to win the prize.

The England striker has scored 12 goals and set up a further two in the Women's Super League this season, with Arsenal 12 points adrift of champions Chelsea with one game remaining.

The 26-year-old has scored eight goals and provided two assists during her side's 14-game run to the Women's Champions League final, where Arsenal will face holders Barcelona in Lisbon on 24 May.

Arsenal team-mate Mariona Caldentey came third in the vote with Chelsea defender Millie Bright fourth.
