Nottingham Forest coach Nuno Espírito Santo has won the October Manager of the Month award in the Premier League.

It marks a Forest double after striker Chris Wood earlier claimed the Player of the Month award.

It is the fifth time that he has won the award in his career – only 11 managers have done so on more occasions.

The Premier League’s October Player of the Month award has been won by Nottingham Forest’s Chris Wood.

It is the first time a Forest player has ever won the honour, while he is also the first New Zealander ever to get his hands on it.

The 32-year-old was the league’s top scorer last month, netting four goals in total and scoring in each of his three appearances.

He came out on top of an eight-man shortlist which also included Facundo Buonanotte, Joško Gvardiol, Bryan Mbeumo, Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka, team-mate Matz Sels and Danny Welbeck.
