Tottenham Hotspur at the double as manager and player win prestigious Premier League monthly gongs
Tottenham Hotspur duo Ange Postecoglou and Son Heung-min make Premier League history
It is a sensational time to be a Tottenham Hotspur fan as Ange Postecoglou and Son Heung-min continue to dominate the Premier League awards list for the second month in a row.
The Spurs boss has taken his side to the top of the Premier League going into the October international break and is yet to experience defeat in the English top flight. It thus comes as no surprise that he has won the PL Manager of the Month award for September
He wasn’t the only Spurs favourite to come out on top as skipper Son Heung-min bagged the gong for PL Player of the Month for September. This is the South Korean ace’s first monthly gong in the category since October 2020. Another Spurs star, James Maddison won the gong in August.
As confirmed by the Daily Mail, this is the first time ever that Tottenham affiliates have won both awards in the first two months of a new campaign. Hopefully, it will not be the last either as we hope for a memorable season with silverware on offer.
The last time a Premier League manager kicked off a new campaign with consecutive Premier League monthly gongs was when Jurgen Klopp achieved it in the 2019-20 season. Liverpool went on to end their league hoodoo that season and we sincerely hope it is our turn this time around. Surely the omens look good.
Postecoglou has changed the atmosphere at Tottenham and we are suddenly brimming with excitement and optimism. It is a far cry from the dying embers of Antonio Conte’s stint where misery was the only word that could describe us.
With Harry Kane gone, the onus is on Son to step up both as a leader and as our chief goal-getter., He managed to do just that in September, scoring a hat-trick against Burnley, a brace against Arsenal and the opener against Liverpool. Hopefully, the best is yet to come.
