He said: It’s a great feeling to be up for the award for September, I’m absolutely delighted.”

“As a striker you always need the service and I’ve certainly had that. The four of us are really enjoying playing together and we are all trying make opportunities for each other, so when it’s like that it’s really enjoyable.”
