JUAN MATA NAMED PLAYER OF THE MONTH

Congratulations to Juan Mata, who was named the Barclays Premier League Player of the Month for October after a series of stunning performances. A month that began with two assists against Norwich City was followed by two goals and an assist to help see off Tottenham Hotspur , before culminating with a sublime free-kick against Manchester United which is a contender for Goal of the Month .

Congrat to Sir Alex Ferguson as he won the Manager of the Month.
