Sergio Aguero-PLAYER OF THE MONTH FOR JANUARY

Sergio Aguero named Player of
the Month for January

The Manchester City striker beat the likes of Dele
Alli and Roberto Firmino to the award after
scoring five goals in four games for Manuel
Pellegrini's men
Sergio Aguero has been named Premier League
Player of the Month for January.
The Manchester City striker scored five goals in
four games to scoop the award for the first time
this season.
Manuel Pellegrini's side were undefeated last
month, with Aguero's brace against West Ham
United earning a 2-2 draw and another double
against Crystal Palace helping City to a 3-0
victory.

The Argentina international also found the back of
the net in the come-from-behind 2-1 win at
Watford, and recorded an assist in the
aforementioned clash with Palace at the Etihad
Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur's Dele Alli, Southampton's
Virgin van Dijk, Liverpool's Roberto Firmino,
Sunderland's Jermain Defoe and Leicester's
Kasper Schmeichel were all in the running, but
Aguero's contributions to City's title bid saw him
win the prize.
The 27-year-old will now have his eye on
boosting his goal tally further when Manchester
City take on Leicester City in a top-of-the-table
encounter on Saturday.
Southampton's Ronald Koeman, meanwhile,
landed the manager of the month award after his
side won three of their four games in January,
including their second successive win at Old
Trafford after Charlie Austin marked his debut
with the winning goal.
