Nicolas Jackson has been officially crowned the Premier League Player of the Month for October following a sensational run of form. The Aston Villa forward beat out stiff competition to secure the individual accolade after leading his side’s charge in the top flight.
He competed against Evanilson of AFC Bournemouth, Arsenal duo Ezri Konsa and Declan Rice, Coventry City’s Jack Rudoni, Tottenham Hotspur’s Jan Paul van Hecke, and Brighton & Hove Albion pair Bart Verbruggen and Luka Vuskovic, all of whom were also nominated for the award.
Jackson’s month started with a crucial equaliser in a tightly contested 2-2 draw against Brentford, setting the tone for what was to come.
He followed that up with a tireless performance during a narrow 1-0 victory on the road against Newcastle United, proving he could influence games even when not on the scoresheet.
The undisputed highlight of his month arrived against Manchester City. Jackson bagged a brace to inspire a 2-1 win, a result that made Villa the first team this season to take points off Enzo Maresca’s side.
The former Chelsea striker finished the month by scoring the opener in a draw with Fulham.
