Arteta wins fourth Manager of the Month of 2022/23

Mikel Arteta has been named Premier League Manager of the Month for the fourth time this season, after being awarded March’s award.

The boss once again came out on top of the voting after guiding us to four wins from four during the month, collecting the maximum 12 points from our matches against Everton, Bournemouth, Fulham and Crystal Palace.

That saw him edge out fellow Spaniards Pep Guardiola and Unai Emery, as well as Roberto De Zerbi to see him add to his triumphs in August, November/December and January.

Reflecting on March as a whole, he said: "We needed results and performances, and we got the results in various ways: in some games we had to react and push ourselves to the limit to get the results, and in other ones, we were really dominant and won the games with a bigger gap.

"Bournemouth was probably my favourite moment, with Reiss’ goal, that moment, that celebration, that hype we all had in the moment. But I’m especially pleased with the consistency the boys are showing every single day – the way they train, the way they behave and the way they are playing, and the willingness and hunger to keep winning and winning."

It is Mikel's fourth win from five nominations this campaign, and takes his overall tally to six during his time in charge of us - moving him to joint-ninth in the all-time standings.

He is now just one behind Jurgen Klopp’s record of five successes during a single season, which occurred during Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning season of 2019/20.

Aaron Ramsdale’s superb stop against Bournemouth has been awarded the Premier League’s Save of the Month for March.

It is the first time one of our shot-stoppers has picked up the prize, having been introduced at the start of this campaign, and means we have won three of the four available monthly awards this time around after we won all four of our matches in March.

Aaron's big moment came in the 21st minute of the epic encounter against the Cherries. With us already trailing 1-0, a swift counter-attack saw Philip Billing break forward and centre for Dango Ouattara to seemingly tuck the ball into the net, but Rambo made himself big and managed to get a hand to his effort, and keep us in contention.

That would prove crucial as we ultimately went on to win 3-2, with Reiss Nelson netting the winner seven minutes into stoppage-time.

Speaking about his award, he said: "I'm very pleased, there's been a few months where I've been nominated and better saves have won to be fair, but the save enabled us to stay in the game and eventually win it.

"We do quite a lot of work with our goalkeeping coaches doing spreads and one v ones. The ball came across the box and Dom Solanke couldn't get on it, and the winger took it first time. I knew I needed to get on the end of it, and it managed to hit me on the forearm so it was a nice save.

"It's probably better than what it was given the timing in the game. We were 1-0 down and if it went to 2-0 it would have been difficult. With what happened with Reiss and the comeback heightens the save even more, so it was a pivotal moment in the game."

Our number one came out on top to beat Leeds United's Ilian Meslier, Jose Sa of Wolves, West Ham United’s Alphonse Areola, Tottenham keeper Fraser Forster and Brentford's David Raya.
