Again, Yaya Toure named African Player of the Year

Ivory coast and Manchester City playmaker Yaya Toure has been named Africa's best player for a record fourth straight time after beating Vincent Enyeama and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the glamourous ceremony in Lagos, Nigeria.

The Ivorian equals Samuel Eto'o's four titles but becomes the first player to win in back-to-back years.

The 31-year-old scored 20 goals in 35 Premier League appearances for Manuel Pellegrini's side in the 2013-14 campaign, as they left the BPL trophy with just two points.

Enyeama captained Nigeria at the World Cup and had an outstanding performance at Lille that finished third in Ligue 1 last term, helping the club to the Champions League group stage where they lost to Porto.

Aubameyang also had a fine debut campaign at Borussia Dortmund last season. He scored 13 Bundesliga goals, helping his team to a second-placed finish and the DFB-Pokal final.
