Over 8,000 votes were cast in an incredibly close contest, with Bernardo’s 45% share of the vote just enough to pip Foden’s 44%.

It means the midfielder becomes the first player to claim the prize in successive months since Sergio Aguero in August and September 2019.

The 27-year-old’s tireless work rate and technical poise have proved vital for City so far this season, with particularly standout performances coming against Liverpool, Burnley and Brighton across October.
