BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year 2017: Footballer Phil Foden wins

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden capped a brilliant year by winning the BBC Young Sports Personality award.

He helped England win the Under-17 World Cup and took the Golden Ball award for the tournament's best player.

Foden, 17, also made his senior debut for Manchester City and became the youngest Englishman to start a Champions League match.

He was on a final shortlist of three for the BBC award, with gymnast Ellie Downie and Para-skier Millie Knight.

"It meant everything," Foden said about being named the Under-17 World Cup's best player. "But I would like to thank my team-mates, without them it wouldn't have been possible."

The winner was announced during the Sports Personality show in Liverpool on Sunday.

Footballer Wayne Rooney, tennis player Andy Murray and swimmer Ellie Robinson are among former Young Personality winners.
