Chelsea star N'Golo Kante was given a round of applause when he entered the dressing room following his PFA Player of the Year win.
The 26-year-old France international, who is just one win away from retaining the Premier League, has played a pivotal role in Chelsea's success.
And he has been rewarded for his form by being named the PFA Player of the Year and Football Writers' Player of the Year.
His team-mates have also appreciated his work since making the £30million move from reigning Premier League champions Leicester last summer.
