City look unstoppable and are 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League ahead of Tottenham's visit on Saturday evening.

And with a perfect record over the last three months, it comes as little suprise that Guardiola has bagged three in a row.

He becomes just the second manager to achieve the feat, with Chelsea's Antonio Conte scooping a trio of awards for October, November and December last season.

Mo Salah is named Player of the Month for November after netting seven goals in four games for Liverpool.

Everton skipper Wayne Rooney picks up the goal gong for his stunning strike from inside his own half against West Ham.

After scooping his award, Rooney said: "I think the goal was right up there with the best goals that I've scored.

"It was my third goals for the hat-trick and my first at the Gwladys Street End since rejoining Everton.

"It was just a clean strike - I caught it perfect."

Rooney said after the match that it was as sweetly as he had EVER struck a ball.

The goal provided the perfect send-off for Toffees fan David Unsworth, who had struggled in charge after being put in charge when the club sacked Ronald Koeman.

On his own award, Salah said: "In the month I scored seven goals ands that's good feeling.

"The results are the most important thing and we had good results and we're trying to do the same in December.

"We have to win something for ourselves and the fans.

"For me I want to score many goals and help the team win titles."
