Hull boss Phil Brown has been named Premier League manager of the month for September.

The Tigers started the month with a 2-1 victory at Newcastle and then held Everton to a 2-2 draw.

They went on to spring one of the greatest surprises in Premier League history as they came from behind to beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

Hull, who continued their fine start to the season with a 1-0 victory over Tottenham on Sunday, are currently third in the table.

They had been heavy favourites to be relegated and Brown has now been recognised for his part in their unexpected success.

Brown's accolade was voted for by the Barclays Award Panel, which includes representatives from football's governing bodies, the media and fans.

It is the first such award for Hull in their maiden Premier League campaign.
