Philippe Coutinho, Emre Can Win Awards at Liverpool's End-of-Season Ceremony
Philippe Coutinho dominated Liverpool's end-of-term awards for the second year running as he claimed four gongs, including the club's Player of the Season for 2015-16 on Thursday.
Per Simeon Gholam on MailOnline, the Brazilian also picked up the awards for Performance of the Season—for his display in November's 4-1 win away at Manchester City—First Team Players' Player of the Season, and Goal of the Season after his individual effort against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the UEFA Europa League.
Meanwhile, 22-year-old Emre Can picked up the gong for Young Player of the Season after a string of excellent performances in the middle of the park during the 2015-16 campaign.

Coutinho, 23, won the same four awards last year and has continued to be Liverpool's key attacking star under manager Jurgen Klopp.
The club provided some highlights of the attacking midfielder's season to illustrate just how effective he has been again this term:
He has netted eight goals and provided five assists in the Premier League, while he has scored twice and laid on one in Liverpool's Europa League campaign that has seen them all the way to May 18's final in Basel, Switzerland, against Sevilla, per WhoScored.com.
The clash against the Spanish side at St. Jakob-Park will be Klopp's second opportunity since his appointment as manager back in October to claim a first piece of silverware as Liverpool boss, having lost to Manchester City in February's Capital One Cup final.
Coutinho will be vital in Basel as Liverpool look to win a first piece of European silverware since 2005's UEFA Champions League triumph.

Indeed, a victory against Sevilla would also book Liverpool a place in Europe's premier club competition next season despite them missing out on a top-four spot in the Premier League.
Can will also be a key presence against Los Rojiblancos. The German has come on in leaps and bounds this season in the deep-lying midfield role, and his rapid return from an ankle injury in time to face Villarreal in the Europa League semi-final second leg was a huge boon for the Reds.
Given that he was initially expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season, it was a wonder that Can was able to return so soon for the clash with the Yellow Submarine, and he put in an immense display, per Squawka:
It was further proof that Can is a special player, and his recognition at the end-of-season awards was fully deserved.
Liverpool still have two more matches of the current campaign remaining and can finish as high as fifth in the Premier League depending on how they fare in Sunday's final game at West Bromwich Albion—and if other results go their way.
However, the Europa League final is the main focus for most involved with the club, and it would be a glorious way for Liverpool to end their season if they could beat Sevilla in Switzerland.
