The winner of the PFA Vertu Motors Championship Fans’ Player of the Month

Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill has been voted the PFA Vertu Motors Championship Fans’ Player of the Month for August.

The 26-year-old enjoyed a stellar first month back in the Championship following the Clarets’ relegation from the Premier League in May.

Brownhill opened August with Burnley’s solitary goal in a 1-1 draw at home to Luton Town before putting in impressive, if ultimately fruitless, performances in their 1-0 loss at Watford and 1-1 draw with Hull City.

He then scored the opening goal in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Blackpool at Turf Moor and went on to round off August in style.

Brownhill grabbed two goals and an assist as Burnley romped to a 5-1 win at Wigan Athletic before dominating the midfield in the Clarets’ 2-0 victory at home to Millwall.

Six players were nominated for the award, with Brownhill edging it with 27% of votes. Norwich City forward Josh Sargent finished in second with 21%, and Hull City striker Oscar Estupinan came third with 15%.

Queens Park Rangers playmaker Ilias Chair (14%), Sunderland striker Ross Stewart (13%) and Sheffield United centre-back Anel Ahmedhodzic (10%) were also on the final six-man shortlist for the award.
