The Premier League has unveiled the nominees for both the February 2026 Goal of the Month and Player of the Month awards, highlighting some of the most outstanding individual moments and performances across the competition.

Eight spectacular strikes have been shortlisted, ranging from long-range rockets to moments of outrageous skill.
Kevin Mbabu (Fulham) – A stunning 91st-minute strike from outside the box that briefly silenced Old Trafford.
Dominic Solanke (Tottenham Hotspur) – A sensational back-heel scorpion kick that looped over the goalkeeper to cap a dramatic comeback.
Chemsdine Talbi (Sunderland AFC) – A brilliant solo run finished with a strike that crashed in off the underside of the crossbar.
Martin Zubimendi (Arsenal) – A powerful long-range effort that arrowed into the bottom corner.
Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool) – A trademark free-kick from around 27 metres, showcasing his exceptional technique.
Benjamin Sesko (Manchester United) – A clinical first-time finish deep into stoppage time to rescue a point.
Hugo Bueno (Wolverhampton Wanderers) – A beautiful left-footed curler from the edge of the area that sparked a comeback against the league leaders.
Anton Stach (Leeds United) – A thunderous set-piece strike that earned a crucial away point at Villa Park.
Player of the Month contenders
The league has also revealed six nominees for February Player of the Month, with Viktor Gyokeres of Arsenal headlining the shortlist as the Gunners continue their push at the top of the table.
Gyokeres has enjoyed a prolific spell in front of goal, quickly establishing himself as a key figure in Arsenal’s title challenge.
Manchester City have two representatives, with rising talent Nico O’Reilly and dynamic attacker Antoine Semenyo both earning nominations after impressive displays.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is recognised for his commanding defensive performances, while Dangou Ouattara of Brentford has also been shortlisted after a series of energetic attacking displays.
Completing the lineup is Benjamin Sesko, whose goals for Manchester United have been crucial during a strong run of results.
The winners for both awards will be announced later this month after votes from fans and a panel of experts are counted.
