A trio of MLS stars received individual accolades at the conclusion of the 2017 Gold Cup as Michael Bradley, Alphonso Davies, and Andre Blake took home the Golden Ball, Golden Boot, and Golden Glove, respectively.

U.S. men's national team captain Bradley, who plies his trade with Toronto FC, was given the award for the tournament's best overall player as he guided his side to its sixth Gold Cup title with a 2-1 win over Jamaica, which owes plenty to the incredible heroics of goalkeeper Andre Blake.

The 26-year-old Philadelphia Union shot-stopper kept his team in many a match, but suffered a torn right hand in the first half of the final tilt. Still, his efforts were noted and awarded with the Golden Glove, ahead of Tim Howard.

Finally, 16-year-old Vancouver Whitecaps and Canada phenom Alphonso Davies captured the Golden Boot prize for his three goals, edging Jordan Morris for the title by way of the assist tiebreaker. Davies was also presented the Best Young Player award, and for good reason - he is the youngest player to score in Gold Cup history.

All three were named to the Gold Cup Best XI, too:
