Adam Lallana, Fernando Forestieri, Will Grigg and Ollie Watkins have been named the PFA Fans' Players of the Month for March.

Adam Lallana was in superb form for Liverpool in March, helping Liverpool to two wins from their three Premier League matches.

The England midfielder, who picked up two assists in March, scored once in Jurgen Klopp's side's 3-0 win over Manchester City on his way to beating Norwich defender Timm Klose and Tottenham striker Harry Kane on his way to the top-flight award.

In the Championship, Sheffield Wednesday forward Fernando Forestieri has won the award for the second time this season.

The 26-year-old, who also picked up the award back in October, put in some commanding performances for Wednesday in March, scoring once and picking up an assist as Carlos Carvalhal's side claimed back-to-back 3-0 wins.

The votes came in in their droves as Forestieri saw off competition from Leeds United striker Mirco Antenucci and Bristol City forward Lee Tomlin.

Wigan striker Will Grigg topped the poll for the League One award ahead of former winner Shrewsbury Town's Sullay Kaikai and Oldham's Aaron Amadi-Holloway.
