Wenger lands Premier League managerial award for sparkling Arsenal form

Arsenal's Arsene Wenger has landed the Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month award for March.

The Gunners cemented their spot in the top four with wins over Everton, QPR, West Ham United and Newcastle United which prompted the league to hand Wenger yet another monthly award.

Wenger was thrilled to be rewarded for his side's good form but was only focused on the weekend's clash with Liverpool.

"You just focus on the next game and it reminds you that you have done well in the last month, but you focus on the next one," he told Sky Sports News HQ.

"Winning is a mixture of quality and disappointment because we have gone out of the Champions league and that was a disappointment, but overall we are on a strong run in the Premier League and the FA Cup so it is mixed."

Wenger shared the monthly award with Gunners striker Olivier Giroud who was named Player of the Month.
