The Blues technically claimed the prize in August, even though it was won by their player Jack Grealish who received the recognition for his start on loan at Everton.

There can be no doubts about the boost Haaland gave City in September though, with five goals and an assist in their three games against United, Arsenal and Burnley to mean he had a hand in six of the nine they scored.
