Alan Pardew, Vincent Kompany win Premier League awards

Alan Pardew has been named as the Barclays Premier League Manager of the Year.

Pardew, who took over at Newcastle United in December 2010, has given the Magpies a chance of Champions League football going into the last game of the season.

Meanwhile, Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has won the Premier League's Player of the Year award.

The Belgian could guide City to their first league title in 44 years this weekend if they beat Queens Park Rangers at the Etihad Stadium.
