Francis Coquelin is the Vitality Player of the Month for August.

The French midfielder was in fine form throughout the opening four weeks of the season and polled just less than a quarter of the votes cast.

Coquelin impressed in the Community Shield victory against Chelsea, as well as in the defeats of Crystal Palace and Newcastle and the draw with Liverpool.

Petr Cech, who made two stunning saves against Liverpool, finished in second place with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in third.
