Everton duo scoop up February awards
-
Everton’s David Moyes and Phil Jagielka have been named Premier League Manager and Player of the month for February.
Shorn of an abundance of first-team players, Moyes last month guided The Toffees to league wins at home to both Bolton and West Brom as well as a draw at Newcastle.
Jagielka meanwhile has continued to impress with the kind of form that caught Fabio Capello’s eye enough to earn him a friendly start against Spain.
It is the first time that Jagielka has been awarded the prize but the fifth occasion that Moyes has been named the best of the bunch.
"Of course I am pleased with the recognition,” he said humbly. “But it is not for me, it is the players who have done their jobs. It is for the whole club.
"What I want is a trophy for the whole club to enjoy now, not just for me. It is hard to drag this award away from Sir Alex Ferguson these days, so that is something to be proud of."
