# Chelsea fans vote Diego Costa as their Player of the Month

Chelsea fans have voted for Diego Costa as their Player of the Month for September after we [asked](https://readchelsea.com/2016/10/04/chelseas-best-player-september/) for your thoughts as the month passed.

The Spanish forward, who won 81% of votes, scored three goals in four games during September – including an opportunistic overhead kick to equalise against Swansea City. His other goal came in the loss to Liverpool – as he poked in from close-range to give Chelsea a lifeline against the Reds.

Second in our list was Eden Hazard, who was chosen 67% of the time – he played very well against Swansea, with only his poor finishing letting him down. N’Golo Kante’s boundless energy helped him pick up third place on our list – he was picked 42% of the times he featured. Surprisingly Cesc Fabregas was only picked 27% of the time, despite putting in a terrific man of the match performance against Leicester City in the EFL Cup. His lack of playing time probably cost him.

The final player on our list was full-back Cesar Azpilicueta – who’s powerful long-range volley couldn’t prevent him taking the last place on our list. The dreadful performances of his fellow defensive line probably cast the Spaniard in a bad light.
