EA SPORTS Player of the Month - VOTE NOW
The arrival of five players in the final few days of the transfer window gave the squad a fillip and they beat Swansea at Emirates Stadium thanks to Andrey Arshavin's opportunistic strike.
A creditable draw at Borussia Dortmund followed but, after a confident start at Blackburn, defensive errors cost Arsenal three points.
Arsène Wenger's players picked themselves up and ended the month with three straight wins. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain stole the show as Shrewsbury were beaten in the Carling Cup, Robin van Persie reached a century of goals in a big win over Bolton and Olympiacos also succumbed at the Emirates.
There are plenty of contenders for our September Player of the Month award. Our August winner Wojciech Szczesny was a commanding presence in goal, Bacary Sagna was consistently excellent at right back and Alex Song found his best form in midfield. Mikel Arteta made an eye-catching start to his Arsenal career and Van Persie joined the '100 Club'.
