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.
