Malouda Wins Barclays Player Of The Month

Florent Malouda has been named Barclays Player of the Month for March, after a series of outstanding performances helped us bounce back from European disappointment in style.

The French international netted an impressive five goals in four Barclays Premier League fixtures, taking his season's tally to 13, as well as laying on another three for his team-mates.

Malouda's fine month began with a goal and two assists in our 4-1 win over West Ham at Stamford Bridge and continued with a brace of strikes as we inflicted a 5-0 defeat on Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

The best was to follow, however, as the in-form winger netted a further two goals and made another for Frank Lampard in our emphatic 7-1 home win over Aston Villa.

This is the first time that Malouda, who has 51 France caps, has won the Player of the Month award since joining from Lyon in the summer of 2007.

The decision was made by the Barclays Awards Panel, which includes representatives from football's governing bodies, the media and fans.
