Centre-back's thunderbolt against Coventry completes September awards treble for Brighton

Brighton & Hove Albion have become only the fifth team in Premier League history to win Player, Manager and Goal of the Month awards simultaneously after Lewis Dunk’s stunner against Coventry City earned September's Guinness Goal of the Month award.

Dunk's long-range strike which arrowed into the top corner completed Brighton’s hat-trick of monthly accolades. Team-mate Pascal Gross won the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award and head coach Fabian Hurzeler was named Barclays Manager of the Month.

Before Brighton, the last club to sweep all three awards was AFC Bournemouth in January 2025, when Justin Kluivert, Andoni Iraola and David Brooks won Player, Manager and Goal of the Month respectively.

Manchester United achieved the feat in November 2023, with Harry Maguire claiming Player of the Month and Erik ten Hag and Alejandro Garnacho clinching Manager of the Month and Goal of the Month respectively.

In October 2022 Newcastle United completed a clean sweep with Miguel Almiron picking up the Player and Goal of the Month award, and Eddie Howe scooping the manager’s prize.

In November 2016, Diego Costa, Antonio Conte and Pedro shared the awards for Chelsea, winning the Player, Manager and Goal of the Month awards respectively.

Dunk's goal topped a shortlist of eight September goals following votes from the public and a panel of experts.
