Last weekend he got the award after helping Spartak Moscow defeat Ural 3-1 in the Russian Premier League.
He scored and also provided an assist to help Spartak overcome Ural.
After impressing in today’s encounter, the former Chelsea winger was replaced with five minutes left in the game.
Moses will have the chance to end the season on a high when Spartak take on Dynamo Moscow in this season’s Russian Cup final.
If Spartak beat Dynano in the final, it would be Moses’ first trophy for the former.
Born in Nigeria, Moses represented England youth teams at under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels, but opted to play for Nigeria as opposed to being fully capped for England.
He made his debut for the Nigerian senior team in 2012 and earned 38 caps and scored 12 times before retiring from international matches in 2018.
He played in Nigeria’s winning campaign at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, as well as the campaign in the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Moses played 40 games in all competitions for Chelsea in the 2016–17 season, scoring four goals.
With Chelsea winning the Premier League title, Moses became the Nigerian player with the most Premier League appearances for a title winning team.
On 2 July 2021, Chelsea confirmed that Moses had completed a permanent transfer to Spartak Moscow, ending his nine year association with the club.
