Riyad Mahrez has been shortlisted for his maiden Manchester City Best Player of the Month award for October.
In what started on a not-too-impressive note, City’s record signing began the month - after his cameo in their win over Hoffenheim in Germany - with a game to forget, blasting over a late penalty meant to give his side an away victory over fierce title rivals Liverpool on October 7.
The 27-year-old then picked himself up, delivering top-notch displays in subsequent games. He netted a worldie in the Citizen's big win over Burnley before laying on an assist as they defeated Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.
