Edin Dzeko has been awarded the Barclays Player of the Month award for August, it's just been announced. The Bosnian striker has started the new campaign like a house on fire with a whopping six goals in three games, including four terrific strikes on Sunday against Tottenham Hotspur (including a postage stamp solo effort as a fourth) that has helped his club reach joint top of the league, alongside rivals Manchester United. Speaking of United, their impressive start to the season along with the introduction of a new blood of talent in Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverly and which was capped off with a 8-2 mauling against Arsenal on Sunday, has meant Sir Alex Ferguson has won the Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month for August.
