Jack Grealish Claims Premier League Player of the Month Accolade After Record-Breaking Start at Everton

Jack Grealish

Key Takeaways:

  • Jack Grealish was awarded the Premier League Player of the Month for August
  • The Everton winger registered four assists in his first two league starts
  • Grealish could become the first player to deliver multiple assists in three consecutive Premier League games when Everton take on Aston Villa on Saturday

Exceptional Form on Merseyside

Jack Grealish has made a resounding impact since his season-long loan move from Manchester City to Everton, becoming the first Toffees player to win the Premier League Player of the Month award since Dominic Calvert-Lewin in September 2020. The England international, who celebrated his 30th birthday on Wednesday, was elected for the August honour following a stellar run in the opening fixtures.

Standout Statistics and Achievements

After making his Everton debut as a substitute against Leeds, Grealish quickly established himself as a key figure, starting the following two matches – both victories against Brighton and Wolves. In these matches, he provided four assists, a tally unmatched by any other player at this stage of the campaign – he leads by two assists after three league fixtures.

Grealish had previously only notched two assists in a single Premier League match on two occasions prior to joining Everton. However, he has now become the first Everton player to deliver multiple assists in back-to-back Premier League encounters, and he will have the opportunity to extend this streak to three matches when Everton face his former club, Aston Villa, on Saturday.
