Arsenal star Sanchez, manager Wenger recognised at inaugural Facebook Football Awards

Arsenal rule the internet after claiming four of five awards at the inaugural Facebook Football Awards.

Alexis Sanchez was named Player of the Year after a stellar individual campaign for the Gunners in his debut year in English football.

The Chile international also landed the Content of the Year prize for showing the crowd some remarkable dribbling skills during a warm-up at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger was named Manager of the Year while Arsenal also picked up the Club of the Year award at the event which was held at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane won the Young Player of the Year award which was handed to him by Welsh rugby star Sam Warburton.

Unfortunately, none of the winners were present to collect their trophies which were all received by the recipients via video.
