Eddie Howe has been crowned Premier League manager of the month after a stunning October.
Howe's team were were top scorers in an unbeaten October, scoring four or more goals in half of their matches, with a 4-1 win at Fulham and 5-1 victory against Brentford. They returned more points than any other side in the month to move into fourth place at the end of last month and now sit third.
Howe picked up the award in February too with Newcastle after successes with Bournemouth in March 2017, January 2018 and October 2018.

Howe beat Arsenal's Mikel Arteta and Man City's Pep Guardiola to the award. Rather than take the acclaim personally Howe not only insisted that his backroom team join him on the picture but also office staff, groundsmen and media staff!
Howe said: "It's about the team and the staff. They are hugely important in the whole process, there's only one of me. Whether it's medical, sports science or coaching they put in a lot of work."
