Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been named EA Sports Premier League Player of the Month for September.

It is the first time the Everton striker has won the award and caps a fine week in which he also scored on his senior England debut - his 10th goal in seven games for Club and country.

He is the first Everton player to claim the prize since Romelu Lukaku in March 2017.

Calvert-Lewin's award was part of a Toffees double, with boss Carlo Ancelotti also being named the EA Sports Manager of the Month.

Of Calvert-Lewin's impressive September goal haul, five came in the Premier League, the 23-year-old heading the only goal at Tottenham Hotspur on the opening weekend, before hitting his first Everton hat-trick in a 5-2 home win over West Bromwich Albion.

The Sheffield-born striker then completed his fine opening month of the campaign by netting in a 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace and adding another hat-trick - this time in the Carabao Cup - to inspire a 4-1 success against West Ham United.

His goalscoring form has helped carry Everton to the top of the Premier League table and into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, the Club's record of seven straight wins representing their best start to a season since 1894.

Calvert-Lewin's influential role in that run earned him a maiden call up to the England senior squad for this month's internationals and he took just 26 minutes to find the net on Thursday to set the Three Lions on their way to a 3-0 victory against Wales.

The forward will have the opportunity to add further caps, with Gareth Southgate's side set to take on Belgium at Wembley in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday (5pm BST), before welcoming Denmark to the national stadium in the same competition next Wednesday (7.45pm BST).

Calvert-Lewin also earned the praise of his Everton manager Ancelotti, who believes the youngster has developed into a "complete striker".

“Dominic had a fantastic month," said the Italian. "He deserved to be the player of the month. He is young but he has had a lot of improvement.

"This last month, he has been really focused in the box and this is the reason he scored a lot of goals.

"He came back [in pre-season] with motivation. For a young player, this is the most important, the target you put on yourself.

"He has worked a lot to improve, to be more focused in the box and more clinical.

“Calvert-Lewin, with his ability and quality, can [also] help players like Richarlison and James.

“He is a complete striker."
