Eden Hazard and Harry Kane land top prizes at the London Football Awards

Eden Hazard capped off an excellent week by being crowned London Footballer of the Year less than a week after picking up his first domestic trophy with Chelsea.

Hazard helped Chelsea win the Capital One Cup on Sunday with a 2-0 win over London rivals Tottenham and the Belgium international scored the only goal of the game on Wednesday night as the Blues maintained their five point advantage at the top of the Premier League with a win at West Ham.

And on Thursday night he scooped the Player of the Year award at the London Football Awards.

Hazard has been in great form for Jose Mourinho’s side this season, scoring 14 goals in 40 games as Chelsea challenge for domestic and European honours.

Chelsea team-mate Thibaut Courtois won the Goalkeeper of the Year award for his excellent displays between the sticks for the Premier League leaders this season.

Tottenham’s Harry Kane – who has scored 24 goals in all competitions this season – was named Young Footballer of the Year.

And Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was honoured with the Outstanding Contribution to a London club.

While outgoing Brentford boss Mark Warburton was named Manager of the Year after guiding the Bees into the play-off places in their first season in the Championship.
