Diego Costa has been named the Premier League Player of the month for the month of August. The player scored four goals in Chelsea’s three wins last month.
Costa was excited to receive the award and left this comment via Chelsea’s website:
“I’m very happy to win this award. It is important to begin well at a new club and I’m pleased with both my start to the season and also the team’s, which is the most important thing.
‘I hope to continue scoring goals to help out the team and keep making our fantastic supporters happy. I thank my team-mates as they have helped me win this award.”
After a similarly strong showing early on in the season with Swansea, Garry Monk has scooped the manager’s award. Monk’s side have won all three games this season (only two teams were able to achieve this), including a victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
