In addition, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was awarded the December Leader of the Month award.
Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette was selected for ‘Goal of the Month’. Lacazette shook the net by finishing a pass following a great build-up in the match against Southampton on the 12th of last month.
Arsenal was praised for showing perfect organization through a passing game that started with the goalkeeper.
