Mikel Arteta is named Manager of the Month for September as the Spaniard credits the 'trust and passion' of his Arsenal stars for turning nightmare start around and delivering 'electric' north London derby display

With Arsenal's spiralling collapse stabilised, Mikel Arteta has completed a rapid comeback from sack-race leader to Premier League Manager of the Month.

Nine points from three games earned Arteta the September award, after his 3-1 deconstruction of north London rivals Spurs in the derby injected some life back into the English fallen giants.

It's quite the turnaround, compared to the deathly atmosphere around the Emirates in August.
