Joel Matip's outstanding month of February in key stats

Joel Matip has been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award for February, and the center-back certainly has quite a strong case for the gong.

The center-back played 90 minutes in each of the Reds' games last month. Liverpool won them all, conceding just one goal.

Moreover, Matip has shown he's worth something at the other end of the pitch too.

Here are some of his stats in those Premier League games provided by Squawka.

4 games

89% pass accuracy

66% duels won

29 ball recoveries

21 duels won

13 clearances

8 tackles

8 interceptions

1 goal

1 assist

As Squawka notes, Matip had more direct goal involvements last month than Cristiano Ronaldo who only scored once for Man United.
