da 888casino: With a whopping 110 goals scored, September was another entertaining month in the Premier League. The likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City continued to assert their dominance over the rest of the division, Cardiff and Huddersfield only added to concerns that they could be this season’s whipping boys and Manchester United’s form spectacularly nose-dived.
da esoccer bet: But away from the clubs and onto the individuals – here are the six Premier League players who impressed so much in September that they’ve received nominations for the PFA Bristol Street Motors Fans’ Player of the Month award…
Alexandre Lacazette
The situation for Alexandre Lacazette looked a little bleak at the start of the season but Arsenal are now reaping the rewards from Unai Emery devising a way to fit the Frenchman and club-record signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang into the same starting XI. He grabbed two goals and two assists last month as the Gunners recorded four wins from four – including an immense Man of the Match performance in a 3-2 victory away at Cardiff.
Sergio Aguero
Some believe we’re seeing the best version yet of Sergio Aguero after two full seasons under Pep Guardiola, with the Argentine now much more than a lethal goal threat. We saw evidence of that last month as Aguero applied two assists as well as finding the net twice himself, and perhaps most crucially to City’s title bid he either struck or set up one goal per Premier League outing throughout September. That includes back-to-back assists against Cardiff and Brighton.
Eden Hazard
While the rest of the Premier League stars involved in its latter stages appear to still be suffering some form of World Cup hangover, Belgium’s impressive march to the semi-finals seems to have only rejuvenated Eden Hazard. September was quite simply an explosive month for Chelsea’s talismanic attacker; he scored the most goals, completed the most dribbles and made the most successful final third passes of any Premier League player. Chief amongst that was a sublime goal against Liverpool last Saturday to secure the Blues a vital point against their divisional rivals.
Raheem Sterling
Raheem Sterling will always have his critics but it’s hard to argue with the statistics and the Manchester City forward’s throughout September were certainly impressive. With goals against Fulham, Cardiff and Brighton and two assists to boot, no player in the division was directly involved in more Premier League goals last month, while he also ranked in the top three for key passes with an impressive 12 from just four outings.
James Maddison
James Maddison is already looking like one of the Premier League’s signings of the summer after a fantastic start to his Leicester City career, which continued throughout the second month of the season. He’s yet another September nominee who scored twice and assisted twice in four appearances, netting against Bournemouth and Huddersfield, but the Englishman also laid on the most key passes of any Premier League player last month with an impressive 13. As reward, he’s since been called up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad.
Matt Doherty
It’s not often a defender coming straight up from the Championship is nominated for a Premier League award but Matt Doherty’s performances for Wolves have become impossible to ignore. He’s won the most aerial duels, taken the most shots and laid on the most assists of any right-sided defender in the Premier League this season, and is only second to Kieran Trippier for key passes. September saw him grab two set ups and play a hand in three clean sheets as Wolves pushed themselves up to ninth in the table.
