Crystal Palace confirmed on Monday that midfielder Conor Gallagher won the club’s Player of the Month award for August.
And, as to be expected, a number of Eagles fans were delighted at the news on social media.
Gallagher, who arrived on a season-long loan from Chelsea in the summer, missed the first game of the season at Stamford Bridge but has been a regular since.
He was named man of the match against Brentford and netted twice against West Ham in Palace’s final August fixture, those goals being the first in Patrick Vieira’s tenure as boss.
The 21-year-old collected a whopping 89.2% of fans’ votes for the August award and has also impressed this month with an assist against Tottenham last weekend.
Palace fans react
Palace posted the news regarding Gallagher on their official Twitter page on Monday evening. This is what these Eagles fans had to say in reply, with one describing it as ‘unreal’.

“An absolute Rolls Royce of a Midfielder. Didn’t the bloke win 2 back-to-back MOTM Awards as well against Brentford and West Ham?, now he’s scooped a POTM Award. Can’t think of a midfielder, on a permanent basis or loan, who I’ve loved as much as Gallagher!”
