P4 W1 D1 L2 G1 A3
Neto set up three goals in September to take his tally to four for the season, the joint-most in the Premier League. While he wasn't credited for an assist, he played a huge part in forcing an own goal as Wolverhampton Wanderers handed Man City their first Premier League loss of the campaign.

P4 W3 D0 L1 G2 A2
Liverpool's talisman registered two goals and two assists, and created 11 chances for his team-mates in four matches.

Kieran Trippier (Newcastle)
P4 W3 D0 L1 G0 A4
The Newcastle United captain contributed at both ends of the pitch. He set up four goals, including three in one match, an historic 8-0 win at Sheffield United, as well as helping his team end the month with three successive clean sheets.
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
P4 W3 D0 L1 G4 A1
The Aston Villa striker ended the month in fine form. His winner at Chelsea was followed by a hat-trick and an assist in a 6-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion that moved his team up to fifth in the table.
