Erling Haaland is the winner for August

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been voted the PFA Vertu Motors Premier League Fans' Player of the Month for August.

The Norway international enjoyed a superb debut month in the Premier League, racking up nine goals and one assist.

Haaland opened August with a match-winning brace away at West Ham United, punishing the Hammers with his searing pace and precise finishing.

He followed that up with an assist in a rare quiet game against Bournemouth and a vital goal in Man City's 3-3 comeback draw at Newcastle before exploding into life at the end of August.

With his side trailing 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace, Haaland scored his first Premier League hat-trick to secure a 4-2 victory against the Eagles.

The 22-year-old followed that up with another hat-trick days later, putting Nottingham Forest to the sword in a 6-0 thrashing.

With six players nominated for the award, Haaland won with a seismic 43% of the vote. Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic finished in second with 18% and Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace came third with 12%.

Brighton's Pascal Gross (11%) and Arsenal duo Gabriel Jesus (11%) and Martin Odegaard (5%) were also nominated.
