Everton forward, Dominic Calvert-Lemin has been named the EA Sports Premier League Player of the Month for September.
The Sheffield-born striker scored a total of five goals in three matches for Everton, including a first Premier League hat-trick.
An impressive form in the opening games of the 2020/21 season earned the 23-year-old the award, becoming the first Everton player to claim the prize since Romelu Lukaku in March 2017.
Reacting to the achievement on Twitter, he said, “A great start to the season. Thank you to my teammates and the people that voted.”
Calvert-Lewin also earned the praise of his Everton manager Ancelotti, who also bagged the EA Sports Manager of the Month.
“Dominic had a fantastic month,” said the Italian. “He deserved to be the player of the month. He is young but he has had a lot of improvement.
“This last month, he has been really focused in the box and this is the reason he scored a lot of goals.
“He came back [in pre-season] with motivation. For a young player, this is the most important, the target you put on yourself.
“He has worked a lot to improve, to be more focused in the box and more clinical.
“Calvert-Lewin, with his ability and quality, can [also] help players like Richarlison and James.
“He is a complete striker.”
