Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has been named Premier League manager of the month for December, his third win on the bounce. The Blues won all six of their league matches during the final month of 2016 as part of a 10-match winning streak which took them to the top of the table. That run came to an end on January 4 with a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham at White Hart Lane. “This award shows we’re working very well,” Conte said. “December was a great month for us. It was important for the table and for our confidence.”
