Joel Matip has won the Premier League Player of the Month for February, after an impressive month with Liverpool. After a wonderful performance last month as they struggle to go top of the table.

Matip was like rock in Liverpool‘s recent run of form, giving the Reds the power to maintain pressure on Pep Guardiola‘s leaders Manchester City. The Jurgen Klopp’s side beat Leicester City, Burnley, Norwich, and Leeds United in February.

With the defender playing every single minute. He also added an assist against Leicester and helped the side to keep three clean sheets, as well as scoring an important goal against Leeds.

Matip has won Player of the Month for the first time since joining the Anfield club in the summer of 2016. He beat Harry Kane to the prize as the English forward was one of many players to fall short.
