Team of Year for Spurs trio

Tottenham had three players named in the Professional Footballers' Association Premier League Team of the Year on Sunday night.

England internationals Kyle Walker and Scott Parker were joined by last year's PFA Player of the Year Gareth Bale. Title-chasing Manchester City had four players in the line-up. Joe Hart was selected between the posts while there were also places for defender Vincent Kompany and midfielders Yaya Toure and David Silva. Wayne Rooney was the only representative from champions Manchester United with the league's top goalscorer, Arsenal's Robin van Persie, joining him in attack. Champions League-chasing Newcastle have been the surprise package of the season and were represented in the XI by Argentina defender Fabricio Coloccini. Everton full-back Leighton Baines was rewarded for another impressive season by being handed a place, meaning there were no representatives from Champions League semi-finalists Chelsea.
