Cyle Larin has been named the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month for August after a blistering start to the season for Southampton. The striker found the net in each of the club's four league games during the month.
A perfect start
Larin opened his account on the first day of the season, scoring in the away fixture at Watford. He then netted the opening goal in the home match against Stoke City. His most impressive performance came in the victory over Millwall, where he scored twice. His second goal of that game was a moment of individual brilliance, flicking the ball over a defender before volleying home.
"I'm delighted to receive the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month award," Larin said. "It's a great honour and I'm grateful to the fans and my teammates for their support."
The Canadian international saw off competition from other players to claim the prize. His form has been a cornerstone of Southampton's recent upturn, which includes a win over Bristol City and an unbeaten run.
Larin's contribution extends beyond August, having also scored in the recent victory over Swansea City. The club now looks ahead to its next Championship fixture, an away trip to face Wrexham. The schedule for that match and beyond can be found on the club's fixtures list.
