Young secures player prize

10 Oct 2008 - 17:59:59

Aston Villa's Ashley Young has been named as the Premier League Player of the Month for September.

The 23-year-old England international has been in superb form so far this season and helped Villa pick up nine points out of nine in the league last month.

Young was on target in the 2-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur and the 2-1 home success over Sunderland, while he also played a key role in the 2-1 derby win at West Bromwich Albion.

Villa boss Martin O'Neill had earlier warned that Young was becoming a marked man due to his impressive series of displays for the Midlands club.

He told PA Sport: "Ashley is receiving extra attention. That is a major compliment to him and it is about coping with those things and he has got a really good footballing brain.

"He is going to have to adjust. He is going to have to play the ball sometimes to unmarked team-mates, if only to find the space to then get the ball back again himself.

"I think at some stage there will be things in the game that do frustrate him and Ashley has to overcome that. He is making a fair fist of that for one so young."
