Kevin Mirallas has been named Everton's Player of the Month for January.
The Belgian's two goals contributed to the 2-0 home win over Norwich City and a 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion.
Those results, plus a 1-1 draw at Stoke City, helped Everton maintain their push for European qualification, while victories over QPR and Stevenage saw the Blues through to the last 16 of the FA Cup.
Mirallas attended a special lunch at Liverpool's Hilton Hotel on Wednesday where he was presented with his award by Dave McGoldrick from event sponsors Williams BMW.
"I'm very happy because it's the first time I've won this award since I signed for Everton," the 26-year-old told evertonfc.com. "Last month was good for me. It was tough because I will always think of it as the month where we lost the derby but what is important now is to go on and try to win every game.
"My best moment was probably the free-kick against Norwich. I'd tried something similar against Stoke in the first game of January but hit the post. Against Norwich, it was the same free-kick but I scored and I was happy.
"I also enjoyed the assist for Johnny [Heitinga] against Stevenage because it was Johnny's last goal for the Club.
"I meant maybe to score a goal, but it was good for Johnny, good for me and good that we won the game."
He spoke to his dad who set him straight.
Hooray! Good Parenting! God love the kid's father!
This is fantastic news, 4 year deal. I was worried we would loose him. A player of his quality demands champions league. Martinez deserves some cred here getting him tied down. I heard it making him second highest paid after Baines. Worth it. Imo.
Ah.
Erm... Don't think it's a new deal mate.

No he must have, it's 2014 and there is a thread running about Mirallas signing a four year deal.
