Award for the best player of the month in the Premier League
The Premier League Player of the Month is an association football award that recognises the best adjudged
Premier League player each month of the season. The winner is chosen by a combination of an online public vote, which contributes to 10% of the final tally, a panel of experts, and the
captain of each Premier League club.[1] It has been called the
Carling Premiership Player of the Month (1994–2001), the
Barclaycard Premiership Player of the Month (2001–2004) and the
Barclays Player of the Month (2004–2016); it is currently known as the
EA Sports Player of the Month.[2][3]
The award has been shared on six occasions: by
Blackburn Rovers's
Alan Shearer and
Chris Sutton in November 1994,
Liverpool's Robbie Fowler and
Stan Collymore in January 1996,
Southampton's
Kevin Davies and
Manchester United's
Andy Cole in November 1997,
Arsenal's Dennis Bergkamp and
Edu in February 2004, Tottenham Hotspur's
Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane in April 2007 and Liverpool's
Steven Gerrard and
Luis Suárez in April 2014. More than four in ten of the Player of the Month awards have gone to English players, and almost a quarter of foreign winners have been French or Dutch.
Michail Antonio became the first player to win the award with different nationalities, winning in July 2020 as an Englishman and in August 2021 as a Jamaican. Manchester United have had more Player of the Month awards than any other club.
Wayne Rooney received five Player of the Month awards.
Cristiano Ronaldo received six Player of the Month awards, and with the longest gap between awards (March 2008 and September 2021).
Michail Antonio is the first player to win the award with different nationalities, winning in July 2020 as an English and in August 2021 as a Jamaican.
