Jurgen Klopp and Alexander-Arnold win the Premier League awards for the month
Liverpool played two away games against Bournemouth and Leicester City. They hosted Everton, Watford and Wolves in December. The Jurgen Klopp-managed side scored a total of 15 goals. They conceded only two goals. Liverpool managed to keep 4 clean sheets and that says a lot about their form in the league so far. With this win, Jurgen Klopp equals Pep Guardiola's record of 4 'manager of the month' awards in a single season. Pep made this record for his run with Manchester City in the 2017-18 season. Klopp is just one good month away from breaking his record.
Alexander-Arnold is on an all-time high and the full-back looks unstoppable now. The 20-year-old made a total of 4 assists in the game last month. This included a hat-trick of assists against Leicester City in December. Alexander-Arnold also found the net once in the month of December. This is Arnold's first 'Player of the Month' award and he is the second Liverpool player to win it this season. Liverpool winger Sadio Mane won the award for the month of November. With the kind of form Alexander-Arnold is in, it looks like he is going to win a lot of these awards in the future.
