In-form Gunners striker wins monthly accolade
Arsenal forward Robin van Persie has won the Premier League Player of the Month award for October.
The Gunners striker scored five goals and set up another two in a fantastic spell for Arsene Wenger's side - which saw them go unbeaten throughout the month.
The Dutch international found the net twice in Arsenal's 3-0 victory over local rivals Tottenham at the end of October, having already scored against Blackburn, Birmingham and West Ham.
This is the second time the 26-year-old has been named as the top flight's elite performer, having scooped the prize previously in November 2005.
Van Persie's Arsenal side take on newly-promoted Wolves on Saturday, with the Dutchman currently fifth in the league scoring chart with seven goals so far, and he has prospered as the spearhead of Wenger's new attacking formation.
Team-mate Cesc Fabregas has already been handed the accolade of PFA Fan's Player of the Month award in what was a fantastic October for the Gunners.
