West Bromwich Albion manager Roberto Di Matteo and forward Peter Odemwingie have been rewarded for accumulating two wins and a draw during September by being named the Barclays Manager of the Month and Barclays Player of the Month.

This is the first ever time that a West Bromwich Albion player and manager have won the individual accolades, while Odemwingie becomes the first Nigerian to scoop the prize since Jay-Jay Okocha won the accolade for Bolton Wanderers in November 2003.
