And the monthly awards of March go to...
The closer we get to the decisions in the Premier League, the more a player can make his impact with some great performances. A good month of a player can result in a higher ranking in the table. Who are the players that were picked as the best of this month? Let's find out!
Great suprise that the stage is filled with three defenders! Normally, the attacking players are recognized for their performances, since goals are remembered better than great tackles or something like that. Indeed, this counted for this month. The defenders all scored goals. First place was for Everton left-back Leighton Baines, who scored all goals in Everton's 3-1 victory over West Ham, of which two were penalties. His rating was a 7.73. A higher rating was scored by Vlad Chiricheş (7.83), who scored 2 goals in 3 appearances. Third place was for Chelsea-defender John Terry, who scored 2 in 4 matches and was rated with a 7.80.

Less surprising was the award for Young Player of the Month, where Lukaku and Shaw were on the stage. These two are in great form this season and Lukaku won the trophy three times, while Shaw won it two times. But this time Shaw became runner-up and Lukaku filled the third place. So who was the winner of the award? It was Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah, who appeared in 3 matches and scored twice, resulting in an average rating of 7.40.

Spurs-manager Mauro Pochettino won the trophy of best manager of the month March. He led them to three victories, including a good 2-1 over Everton. Pellegrini became runner-up, as he victored over Chelsea and Manchester United, both 1-0 in a home game. The draw against Aston Villa was a shame, but nevertheless it was a great month for the Citizens. Third place was for Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, who continues to be present on the stage every month so far this season.
