Alexis Mac Allister has won Liverpool’s Standard Chartered Men’s Player of the Month award for April.
The No.10 claims the prize for the second time in his Reds career after emerging as the clear winner in a supporter poll on Liverpoolfc.com.
Mac Allister took nearly 50 per cent of the vote as a result of his brilliant April, with Mohamed Salah finishing second and Luis Diaz taking third.
Upon receiving the trophy at the AXA Training Centre, the Argentinian said: “Thank you very much, it’s really special because it’s the same month that we won the Premier League.
“So that means it’s not an easy month to play football because there is a lot of pressure and these kinds of things, so I’m really happy that I could show what I can do for the team and win this award.”
Mac Allister started all five of Liverpool’s matches in the month they sealed the Premier League title.
The midfielder opened the scoring at Fulham with a stunning long-range strike and then assisted Virgil van Dijk’s late winner against West Ham United the following weekend.
The championship was clinched versus Tottenham Hotspur and Mac Allister’s brilliant left-footed hit put the Reds 2-1 ahead, producing an actual tremor with a magnitude of 1.74 inside Anfield.
He continued: “It [the strike versus Tottenham] is definitely the most important goal that I have scored so far [in my career].
“I’m really happy with it because it meant a lot to score in that game, the game that gave us the Premier League. So, I’m very glad with it.
“It was really special, as I say, because of the game and because of the meaning. Thanks to the fans, that’s a crazy number [the tremor] that’s not easy to reach. Congratulations to them as well.”
