Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz has been named Premier League Player of the Month for March after scoring four goals in as many games for the Cottagers.
The 22-year-old is the first Fulham player to win the award since goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer in 2010, while Louis Saha also won it as a Cottager in August 2001.
The Brazilian was a revelation in the second half of the season after struggling to find a place in Marco Silva’s side and failing to score before February.
Since then, the 22-year-old has scored eight times, including strikes against Aston Villa and Tottenham.
His brace against Ange Postecoglou’s team last month helped Fulham to a stunning 3-0 win over their London rivals as they move closer to a Champions League qualification spot.

Muniz prevailed in a stacked list of nominees that included Alexis Mac Allister, Cole Palmer, Son Heung-min, Alexander Isak, Ben White and Antoine Semenyo.
Muniz’s form could see him make a late move to Brazil’s Copa America squad this summer. He is yet to represent his country at any level but now finds himself in a tight battle to become the highest scoring Brazilian in the Premier League this season.
Spurs striker Richarlison currently leads with 10, ahead of Wolves’ Mathias Cunha and Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz with 9.
