Chinese football player Yan Junling of Shanghai SIPG poses with his trophy after winning the Best Goalkeeper award during the 2018 Chinese Super League Awards gala in Haikou city, south China's Hainan province, 21 November 2018. For Shanghai SIPG, there's never been a better time to bask in the glow of being the most successful Chinese football team in a hugely fruitful year. The Chinese Super League awards gala took place in Haikou, capital of China's southern Hainan Province, on Wednesday night, and perhaps unsurprisingly almost all the big awards are heading to the newly crowned champions' trophy cabinet. SIPG's Wu Lei, who scored 27 league goals in a breakthrough season, picked up two gongs for Best Player and Best Striker, while their ever-reliable custodian Yan Junling secured the Best Goalkeeper award.
