Dele Alli
P5 W4 D0 L1 Goals 3
A return to form in December kick-started the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder's blistering run, which has extended into January, and earned a nomination for the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award.
Alli equalised in a 2-1 White Hart Lane win over Burnley, his first league goal in eight appearances, before scoring a brace at Southampton as Spurs enjoyed a fourth win from five matches in December.
“He talks on the pitch, he was fantastic, brilliant," manager Mauricio Pochettino told tottenhamhotspur.com this week after Alli's two goals helped Spurs beat Chelsea.
"He's young with big potential to improve. What more can I say? He's showing a big talent."
