Crystal Palace fans have named Eberechi Eze as Player of the Month for January after he bagged a pair of sensational goals.
Eze kick-started January with his Premier League Goal of the Month-nominated strike against Sheffield United and rounded it up with his fizzing effort against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Eze helped lead the Eagles to seven points from their five league clashes and scooped Player of the Month with 36 votes.
He was followed by Vicente Guaita (19%) and Jaïro Riedewald (8.5%) to collecting the award, his second since signing for Palace in summer 2020.
After netting his eye-catching solo goal against Sheffield United, Eze said: “I thought I may as well take the chance and see if I can beat someone. When I got into shooting range I was thinking: ‘I’ll try my luck and see what happens,’ and thankfully it went in.
“I know it’s a good goal. I’m grateful for the opportunity to come on, and to take my chance which was great.
“You want to come on and make an impact and be effective. We have to be ready on the bench and take our chance when it comes.”
