Arsenal's Wenger & Giroud Win The Barclays Manager & Player Of The Month Awards For March

Arsenal's Olivier Giroud and Arsene Wenger have been named as the Barclays Premier League Player and Manager of the Month for March.

Giroud netted five times in Arsenal's four consecutive league wins last month, as Wenger's side took all 12 points on offer.

The Gunners are now only a point behind second-placed Manchester City with eight games remaining.

Giroud's impressive form stopped Tottenham striker Kane from becoming the first player to take three consecutive Player of the Month gongs.

Kane also fired five goals in four appearances for Mauricio Pochettino's side in March, including his first ever Premier League hat-trick when Spurs beat Leicester City 4-3 at White Hart Lane.

Arsenal host Liverpool in the early Premier League game on Saturday knowing another victory would move them nine points ahead of Brendan Rodgers' side and above City, who play Crystal Palace on Monday. - DailyMail UK
