Jurgen Klopp wins manager of the month after Liverpool's perfect August

Jurgen Klopp has been named as the Premier League's manager of the month for August following Liverpool's perfect start to the 2019-20 season.

Liverpool won all four of their opening games of the season to sit clear at the top of the Premier Leaue table.

The Champions League holders beat Norwich City (4-1), Southampton (2-1), Arsenal (3-1) and Burnley (3-0), and also sealed a Uefa Super Cup victory over Chelsea following a penalty shootout.

Those results leave Liverpool two points clear of champions Manchester City heading into this weekend's action, with the Reds hosts Newcastle in Saturday's early kick-off.

It is the fourth time the German has won the award and his third inside 12 months. His previous wins came in September 2016, December 2018 and March 2019.
