Patrick van Aanholt has been named ManBetX Player of the Month for February by Crystal Palace fans, beating three teammates by a margin of just 1.7%.
Van Aanholt, who featured in every minute of Palace’s four games in February, collected 20.1% of fans’ votes, with Jordan Ayew (19.2%), Vicente Guaita (19.2%, one vote behind Ayew) and Gary Cahill (18.4%) running him very close for first place.
But Van Aanholt’s performances across the month Palace collected six points from four games in pipped the others to the post. The Dutchman’s goal against Newcastle United secured the Eagles a win over the Magpies and will go down as one of his more striking efforts in south London.
