Arsenal star Vivianne Miedema dominates BBC WSL awards after fan vote

Arsenal forward Vivianne Miedema dominated the BBC’s Women's Super League awards as she was voted both player of the season and young player of the season.

The 23-year-old topped the fan-voted polls after scoring 19 times in 22 league appearances so far this season for the Gunners.

Chelsea boss Emma Hayes was named manager of the season, while the team of the season was made up solely of players from the three clubs locked in a title battle at the time of the coronavirus shutdown – Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Miedema was one of six Arsenal players included, with international teammate Danielle Van De Donk joined by England pair Beth Mead and Leah Williamson and Scottish duo Lisa Evans and Kim Little.
