After following up his breakout 2010 campaign with a surprisingly slow start from a goals standpoint, Sebastien Le Toux is finding his attacking form at the perfect time for the Philadelphia Union.
Le Toux scored seven goals in six matches in September, including two-goal efforts against New England and D.C. United, to take home SBI MLS Player of the Month honors. Le Toux is up to 10 goals on the season after having just one through mid-August, and his outburst has helped the Union to 10 points in their last six games.
Le Toux edged out other candidates like D.C. United's Dwayne De Rosario, who had five goals and three assists including a hat trick against Real Salt Lake; and Chivas USA's Juan Pablo Angel, who had two multi-goal games and scored five goals with Chivas still in the playoff hunt.
What did you think about Le Toux's month? Who was your top player for September?

Cap him please!
He has a green card..I believe he got in 2010…he cant be far from becoming a citizen.
Yeah..agree with gilby. I don’t understand why LeToux was not protected. This years expansion, better not see Jacqua protected again!
Still mad the Sounder’s protected Jaqua over Le Toux in the expansion draft. Hanauer has been a solid GM and Le Toux had a rough first year but he was and still is one of my favorite Sounders.
He has stated many times that he’s willing to play for the US. Don’t think he’s a citizen though.
If only goal scorers are to be considered the title needs to be changed.
isn’t he french?
Not happening homie!
When is LeToux getting a call from Klinsmann?
that has got to be the WORST picture. looks like a bassit hound
LeToux is an AMAZING player. Philly better not lose him
Until Carlos Ruiz left, Le Toux was playing in a different position and/or a different role than he was in 2010. Now he’s back to playing in the same place as last season and he’s settled into last year’s scoring habits. Let’s hope it lasts.
LeToux is easily the PotM. Congrats to him, great guy
