Fernandinho was voted the Etihad Player of the Month for the first time this season after beating off a fierce challenge from Joe Hart.

The Brazilian has made the short-list in all four Etihad awards so far this season but this is the first time he has topped the poll.

Hart finished second and Fabian Delph was third – thanks to everyone who voted.

The winning entry who will present Ferna with the award in person at the CFA will be announced in due course.
