Normally not many people pay attention when Eden Hazard, or Sergio Aguero, or David De Gea are presented with their award for Premier League Player Of The Month, but August has brought about a new winner, which we were happy to see, until we realised it might be the greatest oversight in Premier League history.

Swansea City's Andre Ayew won the award for August, and this isn't an issue with him as he had an excellent start to life in the Premier League, but...
WHAT ABOUT RIYAD MAHREZ?!
Leciester City's Algerian playmaker has been by far and away the standout performer in the Premier League so far this season. After impressing in patches last year, Mahrez scored four goals in his first three games of the season and has been the catalyst behind Leicester's fantastic start, leaving them in third place in the league.
Again, we would like to reiterate that we understand how well Ayew has done, and fair play to him, but we couldn't stand by and accept that Riyad Mahrez has been well and truly snubbed.
The reasoning is probably due to Ayew's goals against Chelsea and Man United, which in fairness were very important, but Ayew has had a red-hot Bafetimbi Gomis playing alongside him, and Mahrez has been well and truly putting the team on his back.
Just look at what this decision has done to him:
It's not right. It's not fair.
Is Ayew being linked with a move to Barcelona? No. He is not.
