Arsene Wenger and Thierry Henry have won the Barclaycard Manager and Player of the Month awards for performances in September.

During last month Arsenal scored 12 goals in five matches and some impressive performances helped them to wins over Manchester City, Charlton, Bolton and Leeds.

Arsenal, yet to be beaten this season, currently stand two points clear at the top of the Barclaycard Premiership. "Arsene Wenger and Thierry Henry epitomise what is so good about Arsenal," said a statement from the Barclaycard Awards Panel, which includes representatives from football's governing bodies, the media and fans.

"Wenger is one of the greatest managers in Premiership history who looks set to dominate the English game for years to come. "

"Henry is being touted as one of the best players in the world and who would argue?"

"Fifty-eight Premiership goals, four during September, he was last season's Barclaycard Golden Boot winner and surely the favourite to win it again. Not bad for a player who is just 25 years old."
