PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Juan Mata has been crowned Chelsea Player of the Year for the second successive season. It was a night to remember for the Spaniard as he also picked up the Players' Player of the Year award.
'I feel so happy,' he said. 'It's my second season here and winning the trophy two years in a row is amazing for me. I just want to say thank you to all the supporters and all my team-mates.'
Earlier in the night, Frank Lampard was presented with a Special Recognition award for the service he has given the club since signing for the Blues in 2001.
The Blues midfielder, who has just signed a one-year contract extension, was presented with the award by Bobby Tambling, the man whose goalscoring record he surpassed last weekend to become our all-time highest scorer.
