Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt insists there is more to come after a fine run of performances.

The left-back, 29, marked an impressive series of games with a stunning free-kick in the recent 1-0 success over Newcastle.

Palace have edged closer to safety after back-to-back wins over the Magpies and Brighton culminating with van Aanholt winning the club’s monthly award.

“I’m very pleased, it’s very nice to be rewarded for things you do and hopefully there’s more to come,” he said to Palace TV.

“The three points against Newcastle helped us a lot because we needed it and going into the Brighton game with a good clear head helps us as well. We got the three points there too.

“I still feel I can improve more. I came back strong [after my injury] and I’m ready to move on.”
