Who has won the Vital Liverpool Player of the Month award for Premier League performances during May 2017?…
A final day victory over already-relegated Middlesbrough helped Liverpool to successfully achieve their primary 2016/17 aim of securing a return to the Champions League for next season.
The win at Anfield, which meant the Reds pipped Arsenal to fourth by a single point, was part of an unbeaten May consisting of three wins and a draw.
A frustrating goalless home stalemate with Southampton – Liverpool’s fourth failure to beat or score against the South Coast side this campaign – ultimately cost the Merseysiders any chance of leapfrogging Manchester City to claim third.
Impressively, the month featured four consecutive clean sheets by Jürgen Klopp‘s men with eight goals bagged at the other end.
The Vital Liverpool Player of the Month is determined by the accumulative votes cast in the individual MOTM awards for each Premier League fixture. In the event of no clear winner, the editor has the deciding vote.
