Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has been named the Premier League's Manager of the Month award for April.

Bruce was awarded the prize after securing eight points from Newcastle's four games in April, with the Magpies unbeaten for the entire month.

Of the award, Bruce said: "For me to win is a reflection on the players and my staff. They work tirelessly, and without them there's no award to win.

"I'm delighted, and I want to thank them sincerely."
