EA SPORTS Player of the Month shortlist
Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal)
P4 W2 D2 L0 G4 A0
The Swedish striker added a further four goals to his Premier League tally, taking him to double figures in the league in his maiden Arsenal season. Gyokeres began February by coming off the bench to score twice in 31 minutes in a 3-0 home win over Sunderland. The Gunners drew successive games after that victory but returned to winning ways in the north London derby, with Gyokeres rounding off the month with another double in a 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Nico O’Reilly (Man City)
P5 W4 D1 L0 G3 A0
O’Reilly enjoyed a stellar February for Man City, netting in both of their home wins and helping his side enjoy an unbeaten month. The versatile 20-year-old has excelled in an attacking midfield role having been mainly utilised as a left-back by Pep Guardiola this season. O'Reilly scored the second in a 3-0 victory over Fulham and netted both goals in a 2-1 win against Newcastle United. The England international started every match as City earned 13 points from a possible 15.
Dango Ouattara (Brentford)
P5 W3 D1 L1 G2 A2
The winger directly contributed to four goals in February as Brentford enjoyed an impressive month, with three wins and a draw against leaders Arsenal in five games. Ouattara was the matchwinner in a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa and supplied a goal and an assist in a 3-2 win at Newcastle, which also marked his 100th Premier League appearance. He ended February with an assist for Mikkel Damsgaard in a 4-3 success at Burnley at Turf Moor.
Antoine Semenyo (Man City)
P5 W4 D1 L0 G3 A0
Man City’s January recruit from AFC Bournemouth has quickly become a key figure for City, playing an integral role in their pursuit of Arsenal. Semenyo provided three goals in February - in a 2-2 draw with Spurs and subsequent victories over Fulham and Leeds United. The winger also produced an assist for O'Reilly in the Fulham win. The Ghanaian has demonstrated his adaptability by playing in midfield and as a centre-forward for his new club.
Benjamin Sesko (Man Utd)
P4 W3 D1 L0 G3 A0
Sesko played the role of super-sub perfectly in February. The Slovenian scored three goals in four games, each time after coming off the bench. They were consequential strikes too. Sesko scored the winner in the third minute of stoppage time against Fulham and left it even later to rescue a point at West Ham United, with his deft finish coming in the sixth minute of time added on. He also netted the decisive goal in a 1-0 win over Everton.
Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
P4 W3 D0 L1 G2 A0 CS2
Van Dijk showcased his defensive and attacking abilities during the month for Liverpool. The centre-back played in all four matches as the Reds took nine points from a possible 12. The Dutchman helped his side keep clean sheets in victories at Sunderland and Nottingham Forest, even scoring the winner against the Black Cats in a 1-0 success. He was also on target in a 5-2 win over West Ham, to become the joint-second highest scoring defender in Premier League history.
