Frank Lampard has been voted Manchester City's Player of the Month for September. Lampard, who is loan from New York City FC, only made his debut for the club a month ago in the 2-2 draw at Arsenal on Sept. 13. However, the 36-year-old has grown in importance to the Premier League champions in that time, scoring four goals against Chelsea, Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City. His first goal for City came in dramatic fashion as he netted a late equaliser against former club Chelsea, where he spent 13 years before leaving in the summer. The former England international took more than a third of the 6,095 votes cast, beating off the challenge of James Milner, who finished second, and David Silva, who finished third. Lampard is due to return to NYC FC in January in time for the start of the new Major League Soccer season, although there has been speculation that City will look to extend the midfielder's stay at the Etihad Stadium.
