Morgan Rogers named Chelsea's player of the month for October

Chelsea have officially announced that Englishman Morgan Rogers has won the Player of the Month award for October, after topping the club's fan vote via the official app.

Rodgers, who joined Chelsea during the summer transfer window, has delivered outstanding performances throughout the month, participating in all five of the team's matches and playing 444 minutes out of a possible 450, across four Premier League games and one League Cup match.

The 24-year-old player succeeded in scoring three goals during October, with two goals in the Premier League and one in the League Cup. His standout goal against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge was one of his highlights, as he surged forward with the ball from midfield, bypassing the opponent's defense, before expertly lifting it over the goalkeeper.

Rodgers has won the Chelsea Goal of the Month award for October, continuing his streak by winning the award for the second consecutive month after previously claiming it in September with his stunning goal against Arsenal.

Rodgers received 36% of the fan votes in the Player of the Month poll, ahead of Roméo Lavia with 30%, Mike Benders with 18%, Pedro Neto with 9%, and Jordan Henderson with 7%.

Rogers has reached 10 goal contributions in all competitions this season, confirming his increasing impact in manager Xabi Alonso's squad.
