Cesc Fabregas... the EA SPORTS Player of the Month
Fabregas is EA SPORTS Player of the Month!
Cesc Fabregas has pipped Robin Van Persie to the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for October.
The duo dominated last month's official Club poll, receiving more than 85 per cent of the votes cast by Arsenal.com users.
Van Persie was always in with a shout after scoring five goals in five October games but Fabregas' all-round contribution denied the Dutchman by a meagre 48 votes.
Fabregas is a worthy winner. He scored exceptional goals against Blackburn and Tottenham to book-end his October appearances and also found the net in the Champions League game at AZ Alkmaar.
But the captain offered more than goals in October. He had a hand in five of the six scored against Blackburn - he had been substituted by the time the final goal went in - and currently leads Arsenal's assists charts.
Fabregas received 43.4 per cent of the votes with Van Persie just behind on 42 per cent. Alex Song, solid as a rock in his defensive midfield role, was third with 5.1 per cent.
| Player | % of votes |
| Cesc Fabregas | 43.4 |
| Robin Van Persie | 42.0 |
| Alex Song | 5.1 |
| Others | 9.5 |
Nicola Lewis from Faversham in Kent has won the chance to present Cesc with his award before the Chelsea game on November 29. Nicola will also receive two tickets to the match.
"Cesc is so on form at the moment and has been a vital part to almost every game in October," said Nicola.
"He has been unselfish and set up goals as well as scoring for himself. Against Blackburn he twice tried to set up other players before deciding to go for it himself. He scored in three of the five games that he played in October and is an inspirational and vital part of the team."
