Senegalese star Sadio Mane wins award for a third time after three goals and one assist in Liverpool's perfect month.

Mane's three goals and one assist helped Liverpool win all four matches to go eight points clear at the top of the table.

The Senegalese started the month with an inspirational performance at Aston Villa, setting up Andrew Robertson's 87th-minute equaliser before heading in the winner in stoppage time.

He then scored against champions Manchester City and at Crystal Palace.

It is the third time the 27-year-old has won the award, adding to his triumphs from August 2017 and March of this year. 

He topped a seven-man shortlist that also included Dele Alli, Raul Jimenez, Lys Mousset, Son Heung-min, Caglar Soyuncu and October winner Jamie Vardy.
