Arsenal's astonishing form during the 2022/23 season has been recognised with a glut of success at the London Football Awards.

Manager Mikel Arteta was unsurprisingly named Manager of the Year, while Martin Odegaard was named Premier League Player of the Year.

Winger Bukayo Saka, who was of the runners-up to Odegaard in the senior category, took home the Premier League Young Player of the Year award ahead of teammates William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli, and Aaron Ramsdale was named Goalkeeper of the Year.

The annual ceremony took place at the Roundhouse in Camden on Monday night, celebrating the very best footballing talent in the capital.

England's Lionesses were recognised with The Power of Football Award after their successful Euro 2022 campaign, and there was also an Outstanding Contribution to London Football nod for former West Ham captain, and now sporting director, Mark Noble.
