Luis Suarez has won the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year.

He claimed the award with 52% of the vote, ahead of Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard in second and Man City's Yaya Toure in third.

It comes after he won the PFA award last month.

Suarez has been in stunning form this season. He's managed to score 30 league goals and assist more goals than anybody else, and has played a major role in Liverpool's surprise challenge for the title.

FWA chairman Andy Dunn says Suarez's improved behaviour this season has helped him claim this award:

Suarez will be hoping he can help Liverpool move back to the top of the Barclay's Premier League table this evening. 

They lie second in the table, behind Manchester City on goal difference. 

This evening they travel to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace from 8pm.
