Micky van de Ven needs your help if he is to be named the Premier League's Player of Matchweek Nine!

A new initiative by the Premier League this season, each week, eight players across the competition are shortlisted for the title following their performances in the matchweek.

And now, following the ninth match round of the season, Micky is up for the honour having scored his first ever career brace in our 3-0 win over Everton on Sunday!

Captaining the side in place of the absent Cristian Romero as we made our first ever trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the 6ft 3in centre-back made a nuisance of himself in the box and grabbed two goals for his efforts.

Opening the scoring with 18 minutes played, the centre-back was in the right place inside the six-yard box to nod home Rodrigo Bentancur's header back across the box following Mohammed Kudus' initial corner.

He then doubled our lead just before the break as, in an almost identical position, he was there to glance the ball in from close range - again from a corner.

Pape Matar Sarr later grabbed a third while the team battled hard to earn our fourth clean sheet of the season - just two short of last year's tally - and became the first away side to win at Everton's new home.

After the win, it was clear to see that our supporters were most impressed by Micky's display on Merseyside as we was named their Player of the Match.
