Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz was reduced to tears after receiving the Premier League Player of the Month award from his teammates.

The 22-year-old has been in fine form for the Cottagers, netting four goals in as many games in March.

The Brazilian is the first Fulham player to receive the award since Mark Schwarzer in 2010 and only the second since in the last 23 years when Louis Saha scooped the prize in 2001.

Muniz was in the middle of an interview when compatriots Willian and Andreas Pereira gatecrashed and handed him the award.

The striker was immediately reduced to tears and said to his teammates: “I don't know what to say”.

Muniz has struggled to impose himself on Marco SIlva’s squad and was unable to register a goal before February.
