Brighton becomes the 5th player in EPL history to sweep the player, manager, and goal awards of the month

Brighton & Hove Albion swept the player, manager, and goal awards of the month for the fifth time in history in the English professional football Premier League (EPL).

The Premier League Secretariat announced the September Player of the Month, Manager of the Month, and Goal of the Month winners on its website on the 2nd (Korean time).

All three category awards went to Brighton Charge.

Midfielder Pascal Gross was selected as Player of the Month, and coach Fabian Hürzeller was named Manager of the Month. Lewis Dunk won the Goal of the Month award.

Gross, 35, scored two goals and three assists in three league games in September and received the Player of the Month award for the first time. He is the 8th oldest among all previous recipients.

In addition, he became the first Brighton player and the fourth German player to be named EPL Player of the Month, following Jurgen Klinsmann, Leroy Zane, and Ilkay Gundogan.

Coach Hürzeller led the team to 2 wins, 1 draw (9 goals, 1 loss) in September, and was selected as Coach of the Month for the second time following August 2024.

Dunk enjoyed the joy of winning the award by scoring the team's fourth goal with a right-footed mid-range shot from the penalty area in the game against Coventry (5-0 win).

Brighton is the fifth team to sweep the player, manager, and goal awards of the month in the EPL.

It starts with Chelsea. In November 2016, Diego Costa, Antonio Conte, and Pedro were selected as Player of the Month, Manager of the Month, and Goal of the Month winners, respectively.

In October 2022, Newcastle United's Miguel Almiron won both Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards, while Eddie Howe received the Manager of the Month award.

In November 2023, Manchester United's Harry Maguire was selected as Player of the Month, while Eric Tenhag and Alejandro Garnacho were awarded Manager of the Month and Goal of the Month, respectively.

The last team to sweep all three categories before Brighton was Bournemouth in January 2025. At the time, Justin Kluivert shared the Player of the Month, Andoni Iraola the Coach of the Month, and David Brooks shared the Goal of the Month.
