02/ARSENAL.COM PLAYER OF THE MONTH

Robin van Persie... Dutchman scoops fourth successive monthly accolade

Van Persie is 02/Arsenal Player of the Month

The awards keep rolling in for Arsenal’s flying Dutchman.

Robin van Persie's only O2/Arsenal.com Player of the Month award before this season came in November 2005. Now, incredibly, he has four in a row.

The striker was once again in immaculate form throughout February, emerging from the bench to notch against Cardiff on the 16th before slamming home a crucial spot-kick to hand the Gunners the advantage against AS Roma eight days later.

As a result, the 25-year-old claimed almost a third of the votes in our monthly poll. Manuel Almunia’s four clean sheets in February ensured that he came second and another impressive month for Samir Nasri saw him finish a close third.

FEBRUARY PLAYER OF THE MONTH RESULTS
Player % of votes
Robin van Persie 30.7%
Manuel Almunia 18.1%
Samir Nasri
14.2%
Others 37%

Steven Browning has won the chance to present Robin with his award before Arsenal’s home game against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, March 14. Steven will also receive two tickets to that match.

"Robin has been a constant threat in front of goal in February," said Steven. It's hard to disagree.
