Arteta Wins EPL Manager Of The Month Award

By Saeed Tijjani

Mikel Arteta has won Barclays Manager of the Month for March.

 

He earned the award after helping the Gunners stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League table to eight points above Manchester City.

 

His team scored an incredible 14 goals in four matches, beating Everton, AFC Bournemouth, Fulham and Crystal Palace.

 

The Spaniard had a big influence on the incredible 3-2 turnaround win over AFC Bournemouth, bringing on Reiss Nelson to set up the equaliser before scoring the winner.

 

Arteta wins the award for a fourth time this season, moving just one behind Jurgen Klopp’s record of five in a single campaign, set in 2019/20.

 

It makes it a double sweep for Arsenal, after Bukayo Saka won the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award.

 

Arteta beat fellow nominees Roberto De Zerbi, Unai Emery and Pep Guardiola after votes from the public were combined with those of a panel of experts.
