Hemp named February's Etihad Player of the Month | OneFootball

Your votes mean Lauren Hemp has been named the Etihad Player of the Month for February.

In an incredibly close-fought contest that saw 5,000 votes cast, the England winger came out on top against the sizeable challenge of Vivianne Miedema and Kerolin.

Hemp was at her irrepressible best across February, picking up two goals and three assists in our four matches in all competitions.

It began with a tireless display out on the left against Chelsea, as City beat the reigning Barclays Women’s Super League champions 5-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

She set up Kerolin for the Brazilian’s third in the rout, with further goals from Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw and Miedema capping off a memorable afternoon.

And after a brief setback against Arsenal the following week, Hemp perhaps put on her finest display this season in a 6-0 win over Leicester.

She created six chances from open play in the first half, a number bettered only by Fran Kirby in WSL history, as well as grabbing two assists before the break.

It was a similar story after the restart, with Hemp becoming the first player in WSL history to create more than ten chances from open play in a single game.

Her incredible form continued in our final match of February, with the England winger scoring twice in a 4-0 win over Sheffield United to book our spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
