Vivianne Miedema has been awarded the Etihad Player of the Month for March.

This marks the second time the Netherlands international has claimed the prestigious award, having secured 53% of the vote from a total of nearly 5,000 submissions, edging out her teammates.

The versatile forward featured in all eight of the team's matches throughout the 31 days of March and made a significant impact from the outset, scoring in the 2-1 victory over Spurs.

Miedema opened the scoring by meeting a precise cross from Aoba Fujino on the right, powering a header into the back of the net, before Fujino struck the winner at Brisbane Road.

Seven days later, Miedema turned provider in the 2-0 win over Aston Villa, setting up Jess Park to score our second goal, securing our place in the FA Women's Cup semi-finals.

However, it was her standout performance against Chelsea in the first leg of our Champions League quarter-final at the Joie Stadium that truly caught the eye.

Introduced at half-time, Miedema broke the deadlock with a sharp poacher’s instinct, lifting the ball into the roof of the net after Laia Aleixandri’s powerful header struck the crossbar.

She then added a second in the dying moments, collecting a pass from Kerolin Nicoli and drilling a low shot into the bottom corner, handing Chelsea their first defeat of the season.

In addition to her Etihad Player of the Month award, Miedema's performances also earned her a nomination for the WSL Player of the Month prize.

Congratulations to Vivianne on being named Etihad Player of the Month for the second time!
