Liverpool Awards: Philippe Coutinho Repeats As Player Of The Season In 2015-16

Philippe Coutinho was the stand-out winner for the second year running at Thursday’s annual Liverpool FC Players’ Awards.

Just as he did in 2015, the No. 10 walked away with four awards once again, including Goal of the Season for his spectacular finish against Manchester United in March at Old Trafford in the UEFA Europa League and Performance of the Season for an outstanding showing at Manchester City back in November.

The Brazilian also picked up Players’ Player of the Season and Player of the Season award, which was voted for by the fans.

Winners of other player accolades included Emre Can, who was voted Young Player of the Season by supporters. Brad Smith took home the Academy’s Players’ Player of the Year gong, and England Women’s U20 World Cup representative Martha Harris picked up Liverpool Ladies FC Players’ Player of the Season.

Former Anfield great Steve Heighway was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for his services to the club over the last five decades. The trophy was presented by Robbie Fowler and chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, Margaret Aspinall. Former Reds captain Steven Gerrard also provided a special video tribute to the legendary winger and academy coach all the way from Los Angeles.
