Cahill named September POTM

Gary Cahill has celebrated his first month in the first team with the Cherries by winning the Player of the Month award for September.

Sponsored by Michael Matthews, Cahill won the vote among supporters who had their say on social media.

On Twitter, the centre-back secured 38%, ahead of August's winner Jordan Zemura who notched 30.7% in defence of his award.

Third was Dominic Solanke on 22.8% while Mark Travers netted 8.5% of the votes cast. 

Cahill came into the side for the big win over Barnsley, among a backline that conceded just twice across the month.

During September the Cherries went unbeaten, winning four of their five games as well as earning a point away at Peterborough United.

The club would like to thank Michael Matthews for their continued support of the club's player of the month award.
