Last updated : 01 October 2003 By Chris Maxwell
The 23-year-old England international hit the net four times in just three Premiership games during the month and also grabbed the Reds crucial equaliser in the recent 1-1 UEFA Cup draw in Slovenia.

Owen's impressive record of a goal from every three efforts , coupled with an excellent statistic of 83% shots on target during the month, saw the Premiership's leading scorer join Anfield colleague Steven Gerrard - who won the same accolade for August - in claiming OPTA's prestigious prize.
