Aston Villa boss Dean Smith has won the Premier League Manager of the Month award following the club's five-game unbeaten run in December.
The 49-year-old saw his side pick up three victories and record two draws as the club finished 2020 in fifth place in the Premier League table.
The West Midlands outfit scored eight goals during the final month of the last calendar year, including successive 3-0 victories against Crystal Palace and West Brom respectively.
They also conceded just once during the month against Chelsea, meaning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and the Villa defence kept a league-high four clean sheets.
