Brentford striker Igor Thiago has been named the Premier League’s Player of the Month for November, with Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca taking home the managerial prize.

Brazilian striker Thiago is enjoying a dazzling run of form to start the season. His return of 11 goals in 15 games leaves him behind only Erling Haaland in the division’s scoring charts, with five of those strikes coming in November alone.

He becomes the fourth different winner of the campaign and the first Brentford player to ever been named the Premier League’s Player of the Month.

“It means so much to me,” Thiago admitted. “I’m really happy to receive this because it means my hard work on the pitch has paid off.

"I'm surprised! But hopefully I can receive more of these this season. I'm so happy and proud of myself."

Maresca Named Manager of the Month

Meanwhile, it was a second Manager of the Month victory for Maresca, who led Chelsea to a league-high 10 points across a dazzling November.

Chelsea saw off Tottenham Hotspur, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley as they began to build significant momentum, but the Blues saved their best performance for last as they battled to a hard-fought draw with league leaders Arsenal, despite playing most of the match with 10 players.

“This kind of thing, it’s because you do the right things,” Maresca reflected. “Performances and results were fantastic.”

The award lands back on Maresca’s desk for the first time since September 2024 as the Italian becomes the fourth different winner of the prize this season.
