Guardiola breaks Premier League record with fourth straight award

Pep Guardiola has won the Premier League Manager of the Month award for a record fourth time in succession as Manchester City's dominant campaign continues.

The Catalan had already become just the second manager, along with Chelsea's Antonio Conte, to secure the prize in three consecutive months.

After a month in which he scored back-to-back hat-tricks, it is little surprise to see Harry Kane named player of the month.

The Tottenham striker took his haul for 2017 to a record-breaking 39 in the league - encompassed in a tally of 56 in all competitions that outstripped Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski.

Bournemouth veteran Jermain Defore, meanwhile, took out the goal of the month award for his brilliant effort against Crystal Palace.
