The winners of the EA SPORTS Player, Barclays Manager, Guinness Goal and Coca-Cola Save of the Month awards have been revealed.
Mbeumo wins EA SPORTS Player of the Month
Bryan Mbeumo has been voted the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for October 2025, winning the award for the first time in his career.
Mbeumo was sensational for Manchester United last month. The winger's league-high four goal involvements helped his club to win three consecutive matches, the first time they have done so in a season since February 2024.
The Cameroon international either scored or assisted in all three of Man Utd's victories, beginning the month by setting up Mason Mount's opener in the 2-0 triumph over Sunderland.
Against Liverpool, he raced through on goal to give his side the lead after just 62 seconds as Man Utd went on to secure their first Premier League win at Anfield since 2015.
Man Utd's No 19 ended October by scoring a brace as Ruben Amorim's team beat Brighton & Hove Albion 4-2 at Old Trafford. That made Mbeumo his team's top scorer in the Premier League this season, with four goals.
He is the first Man Utd player to win the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award since Bruno Fernandes in March 2025.
In total, 24 Man Utd players have won the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award, which is at least five more than any other club.
Mbeumo topped an eight-man shortlist after the public's votes on the EA SPORTS website were combined with those of a panel of football experts.
Amorim named Barclays Manager of the Month
Ruben Amorim has been named the Barclays Manager of the Month for October, winning the award for the first time.
Amorim guided Manchester United to victory in all three of their matches, the first time the club had won three in a row since he took charge in November 2024.
"The credit is not mine, the credit is for my players. They did really well, and our goal is to win the next one [award], because it means we win football matches and that is our goal," Amorim said after winning the award.
Amorim is the first United boss to win the Barclays Manager of the Month award since Erik ten Hag in November 2023.
Man Utd began October with an impressive 2-0 win over high-flying Sunderland and followed that up with a dramatic 2-1 success at fierce rivals Liverpool, winning at Anfield for the first time in nearly 10 years.
United ended the month with a 4-2 home victory against Brighton & Hove Albion, which sent them, temporarily, into the top four.
Amorim becomes just the sixth Portuguese head coach to take the monthly honour, following Nuno Espirito Santo, Jose Mourinho, Andre Villas-Boas, Bruno Lage and most recently Vitor Pereira with Wolverhampton Wanderers in April 2025.
Portuguese Barclays Manager of the Month winners
| Manager | Awards |
|---|---|
| Nuno Espirito Santo | 7 |
| Jose Mourinho | 4 |
| Andre Villas-Boas | 2 |
| Ruben Amorim, Bruno Lage, Vitor Pereira | 1 |
It also makes it an October awards double for Man Utd after Bryan Mbeumo claimed the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award.
It is the first time they have won at least two monthly awards since November 2023, when Harry Maguire, Ten Hag and Alejandro Garnacho claimed the Player of the Month, Manager of the Month and Goal of the Month awards respectively.
Amorim topped a four-man shortlist also featuring Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), Unai Emery (Aston Villa) and Andoni Iraola (AFC Bournemouth) after votes from fans were combined with those of a panel of experts.
Buendia wins Guinness Goal of the Month
Emiliano Buendia’s superb strike in Aston Villa’s 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur has been voted October 2025’s Guinness Goal of the Month.
Buendia came off the bench to score the 77th-minute winner after an outstanding team move. It started with a superb volleyed pass from Matty Cash to Lucas Digne on the right. Digne brilliantly brought the ball down before feeding Buendia, who cut inside and curled a low, left-footed shot that flew beyond Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario into the far corner.
The 28-year-old Argentinian wins the award for the first time after his goal topped a shortlist of eight of the best in October following votes from the public and a panel of experts.
Buendia is the first Villa player to win the accolade since Jhon Duran claimed the award for his goal against Everton in September 2024. He is third overall, with Danny Ings' scissor kick at home to Newcastle United in August 2021 also winning.
Buendia is only the fifth Argentinian to win the prize, after Manuel Lanzini (October 2020), Erik Lamela (March 2021), Alejandro Garnacho (November 2023) and Alexis Mac Allister (December 2023).
Dubravka wins Coca-Cola Save of the Month
Martin Dubravka’s outstanding stop for Burnley against Wolverhampton Wanderers has been voted the Coca-Cola Save of the Month for October 2025.
With Burnley leading 3-2 and the match entering the fifth minute of stoppage time, Dubravka got down low to deny Santiago Bueno with a stunning one-handed reaction save, securing a big win for his team.
"I'm really pleased to win this award! It's always nice to get a personal accolade, but full credit goes to the team, it's a whole team effort," Dubravka said on Burnley's website after winning the prize.
"We work really hard week in week out and it's nice for me and the team to get this recognition, so thank you to everyone who voted for me to win this award."
The Slovakian goalkeeper, who joined Burnley in the summer from Newcastle United, wins the Save of the Month award for the second time having previously won it in January 2025, also for a save against Wolves.
He is also the first Burnley 'keeper to earn the award since its inception in 2022/23, and the first Clarets player to win a Premier League monthly honour since Matej Vydra's February 2020 Goal of the Month success.
Dubravka wins October's award after votes from the public were combined with those of a panel of experts, topping a shortlist of six goalkeepers who made superb saves across the month.
