Gareth Bale has been named PFA Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year.

The Tottenham star becomes only the third player to achieve that double in the same year after Andy Gray and Cristiano Ronaldo.

It is also Bale's second Player of the Year award, having won it for his performances in 2010/11.

The Welshman who has scored 19 goals in 29 games so far this season beat off competition from Robin Van Persie and Luis Suarez to claim the award.

Michael Carrick, Juan Mata and Eden Hazard were also on the shortlist for the Player of the Year prize.

The PFA also named their Premier League team of the year:

David de Gea (Manchester United); Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City), Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham Hotspur), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Leighton Baines (Everton); Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Juan Mata (Chelsea), Gareth Bale (Tottenham Hotspur); Luis Suarez (Liverpool), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Robin van Persie (Manchester United).
