Burnley striker Peter Crouch may not have won any prizes at the PFA's awards on Sunday night but the Burnley striker has joked that he was honoured at the event.

On a night where Virgil van Dijk and Raheem Sterling took home the big awards, footballer turned podcaster Peter Crouch managed to make headlines himself with a humorous tweet about awards given out at the event.

The trophy given out to players such as Andrew Robertson, Aymeric Laporte and Paul Pogba featured two stick men battling for possession, and the Burnley forward was quick to notice the resemblance to his lanky figure.
