Watford boss Javi Gracia has won the Premier League Manager of the Month gong for August.

Gracia led Watford to three wins out of three in August - against Brighton, Burnley and Crystal Palace - before a fine 2-1 victory over Tottenham at Vicarage Road on September 2.

Watford are one of only three Premier League sides to hold a 100 per cent record this season, picking up 12 points alongside Liverpool and Chelsea.

The start means Watford have won each of their opening four league games of a season for just the second time in their history 1988/89), with this the first time they have achieved the feat in the top flight.
