Firstly, Chelsea’s Aggie Beever-Jones has been named as Player of the Month after enjoying an impressive September for the London outfit.
Scoring the opening goal in every one of Chelsea’s games last month, the forward netted against Manchester City (2-1), Aston Villa (3-1), Leicester City (1-0) and West Ham United (4-0), with the latter effort also a contender for Goal of the Month.
The 22-year-old saw off the challenge of Aoba Fujino, Alessia Russo, Anna Sandberg, Maisie Symonds and Cathinka Tandberg to take the first monthly player award of the new season.

Manager of the Month meanwhile has been awarded to Beever-Jones’ coach, Sonia Bompastor.
The Chelsea boss led the Blues to four victories in September, with her side scoring ten times and conceding just twice to top the table at the end of the month.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Martin Ho, Manchester City’s Andrée Jeglertz and Manchester United’s Marc Skinner were also in contention following their teams’ own impressive starts to the campaign.
Finally, Arsenal’s Olivia Smith’s strike against London City Lionesses has been voted as Goal of the Month for September.
Her opening day effort in a 4-1 win over the league newcomers came out on top in the voting polls having been pitted against goals from Ornella Vignola, Ebony Salmon, Cathinka Tandberg, Jayde Riviere, Rosa Kafaji, Hinata Miyazawa, Aggie Beever-Jones and Olivia Holdt.
