Rashford beats Iheanacho, 4 others to clinch record-equaling Premier League POTM
Published: March 10, 2023
Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho has missed out on the Premier League Player of the Month.
The Leicester City center forward had been nominated for the prestigious accolade alongside Berd Leno (Fulham), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Emerson Royal (Tottenham Hotspur), Manor Soloman (Fulham) and Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa).
EA SPORTS in conjunction with the English Premier League announced on Friday that Rashford has won February's Player of the Month award, earning the prize for the second successive month, and the third time this season.
The Manchester United number 10 has equaled the Premier League record for most EA SPORTS Player of the Month prizes in a single season, emulating Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah, who won three in 2017-2018.
Former West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie won the award three times overall and twice in a single season, in 2010-2011.
Other Nigerian players who have won the Premier League Player of the Month award in the past include Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, Odion Ighalo and Iheanacho.
Iheanacho started all the matches contested by Leicester City in the top-flight in February, and repaid the manager's faith by directly participating in five goals (2 goals, 3 assists) in four games.
