Leroy Sane has claimed the Premier League player of the month award for October after helping Manchester City to three wins from three games throughout the month.
The 21-year-old was a formidable force for Pep Guardiola's side as he provided a goal and an assist in each of their three games, including a stunning strike against West Brom to set them on course for a 3-2 victory.
His contributions in front of goal went unmatched throughout October to make him a deserved winner while Pep Guardiola's 100 per cent record also saw him collect the manager of the month award for a second consecutive month.

Sane scored three and assisted three in just three appearances for Manchester City in October
Sane beat off the challenge from five other players to win the award, including his own team-mate Kevin De Bruyne, Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal, Brighton's Glenn Murray, Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope and Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha.
With six goals and five assists throughout the season, Sane is the joint most creative force in the Premier League alongside team-mate Sergio Aguero (eight goals, three assists).
It is this creative force that has helped to turbo-charge Manchester City into an eight point lead at the top of the table.
The Germany international's run of goals and assists came to an end in the most recent league match against Arsenal, but he still put in an effective performance as they outclassed their opponents to seal a 3-1 win.
He is only the second German to claim the award after Jurgen Klinsmann claimed the inaugural gong while playing for Tottenham in August 1994.
