At 35, Pascal Gross continues to shine at the highest level. The Brighton midfielder was voted Premier League Player of the Month for September, a distinction he won for the first time in his career. The German made five offensive contributions during the period, with two goals and three assists. He notably distinguished himself with a goal and two assists in the 5-0 success against Coventry City, before scoring against Arsenal then providing an assist to Chema Andrés in the 3-0 victory against the reigning champions.
At 35 years and three months, Gross becomes the sixth oldest player to receive this award in the Premier League. Only Stuart Pearce, Teddy Sheringham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gianfranco Zola and Paul Scholes had been crowned at a later age. To win the September trophy, the Brighton player notably beat his teammate Charalampos Kostoulas, Alexander Isak, Kevin Schade, Antoine Semenyo and Jeremy Jacquet.
