Angel Rodriguez named LaLiga 1|2|3 Player of the Month for August

Angel Rodriguez, the Real Zaragoza striker, takes the LaLiga 1|2|3 Player of the Month Award for August thanks to his superb performances for the Aragonese side in their first two games of the season.

The Canary Islander netted four goals in the competition last month, producing braces against both UCAM Murcia CF (3-1) and CD Lugo (3-3). His tally of four propelled him to the top of the goalscoring standings – a position which he retains following the third LaLiga 1|2|3 matchday.

This accolade, which is awarded by Santander, the competition's main sponsor, and voted for by the LaLiga.es writers, recognises the superb job done by Rodriguez for a Real Zaragoza side harbouring the long-sought-after dream of achieving promotion to LaLiga Santander this season.
