In those encounters, Sane excelled, managing a goal and an assist in each of those matches.

In getting his hands on his first-ever Player of the Month award, Sane is also only the second Germany - after Jurgen Klinsmann in August 1994 - to get his hands on the gong.

The Germany international took home the trophy ahead of fellow star performers in October, Kevin De Bruyne, Nacho Monreal, Glenn Murray, Nick Pope and Wilfried Zaha.

Meanwhile, Guardiola, 46, got his hands on his third Manager of the Month award.

The Spaniard pipped Mauricio Pochettino, Arsene Wenger and Sean Dyche to the trophy.

City's form has been so hot this season, they now sit eight points clear at the top of the Premier League, streets ahead of rivals Manchester United.

Meanwhile, October's Goal of the Month award went to Southampton star Sofiane Boufal, for his stunning strike against West Brom.

The only goal of the game, Boufal picked up the ball in his own half, before taking on five Baggies players and rifling the ball into the bottom corner.
