Tottenham's Heung-min Son has won the Premier League Player of the Month award for September.

Son managed four goals during the month, hitting the headlines as he scored twice on his first appearance of the season, a 4-0 win at Stoke City, his second being nominated for the Carling Goal of the Month award.

He continued to flourish in the absence of the injured Harry Kane and produced another brace in the 2-1 victory at Middlesbrough as well as making his mark on the Champions League group stage.

"This is my dream, to get the award," Son said. "I want to get it a second time, a third time. When I take the award home my family will be crazy like you can't believe; they will be really happy.
