Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy has won the EA Sports Player of the Month award for October, after scoring four goals in an impressive run of form for the Foxes last month.
The striker scored the opener in the Foxes’ 2-1 victory over Burnley at King Power Stadium and bagged a hat-trick in their historic 9-0 win against Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium – the biggest away victory in top-flight history.
Vardy was nominated for the award alongside teammate Youri Tielemans, Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, Manchester City’s Ilkay Gündogan, Sheffield United’s Dean Henderson and Chelsea’s Willian.
It is the fourth time that Vardy has been named the Premier League’s Player of the Month, having previously won the award in October 2015, November 2015 and April 2019 – only Wayne Rooney, Robin Van Persie, Harry Kane, Steven Gerrard and Sergio Agüero have more.
It is also the second accolade the Premier League’s current top scorer has picked up in recent days, after being named PFA Bristol Street Motors Fans’ Player of the Month.
