Mane’s three goals and one assist helped Liverpool win all four matches to go eight points clear at the top of the table.

It is the third time the 27-year-old Senegalese has won the award, after winning it in August 2017 and March 2019.

He topped a seven-man shortlist that also included Dele Alli, Raul Jimenez, Lys Mousset, Son Heung-min, Caglar Soyuncu and October winner, Jamie Vardy.

Premier League fans selected their favourite on the EA SPORTS website. The votes of the public were then combined with those of the 20 club captains plus a panel of football experts.
