West Ham’s Antonio named Premier League of the Month for August

West Ham forward Michail Antonio has been named as the Premier League Player of the Month for August after his impressive start to the domestic season. Meanwhile, Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo claimed the Manager of the Month award.

Antonio has scored four goals in West Ham’s opening three Premier League games, including a brace in his side’s 4-1 win over Leicester which saw the 31-year-old become the club’s all-time Premier League record goalscorer.

He scored his 50th Premier League goal for West Ham in their 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace before the international break.

West Ham are second on the league table, 2 points behind Nuno Santo’s Tottenham, who have won all three of their opening matches this term.
