Ibe wins club's Player of the Month award

Jordon Ibe has claimed the club’s Michael Matthews Player of the Month award for September.

The winger started two of the Cherries’ five fixtures last month and produced a man-of-the-match performance after coming off the bench against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Two assists helped Eddie Howe’s side come from a goal behind to beat the Seagulls 2-1 in what was the team’s first league win of the season.

Ibe pipped last month’s winner Nathan Ake to the award, claiming 29% of the vote, compared to the Dutch international’s 27%.

It was midfield Andrew Surman who picked up third place with 24%, whilst Joshua King sat just behind with 20% of votes.

Ibe will be presented with his award by sponsors Michael Matthews ahead of an upcoming game at Vitality Stadium.
