Chelsea grab all three EPL awards for November

English Premier League side, Chelsea FC, have won all three Premier League awards for the month of November, with Diego Costa, Pedro and boss Antonio Conte picking up an award each.

The Blues have been on a winning streak since September, which continued right into November. They won all of their three games in November – against Everton, Middlesbrough, and Tottenham Hotspur – scoring 8 goals and conceding only 1.

Manager Conte won the Manager of the Month award, his second in a row.

Diego Costa won the Player of the Month award, after claiming two goals and two assists. Costa’s total goal tally has risen to 11 this season, which is currently equal with Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez.

“Things are going well at the moment. The team is doing well and this shows that things are working out for me,” Costa said. “The team performance has a bearing on this individual award. If we were bottom, I doubt I’d have won it. So, it’s down to my team-mates, thanks to the club and hopefully we can continue this winning run.”

The third award was claimed by Pedro. His stunning equalizer-goal against Tottenham right before halftime won the Premier League Goal of the Month award.

“This is the best goal I have scored for Chelsea,” Pedro said. “The game was very difficult, it was a derby, and the goal came at the right moment for us. It was important to score before half-time. Thank you to the fans for voting for me. I am very happy with this award.”

Chelsea are currently at the top of the League table with 34 points and three points clear of Arsenal, and will be playing West Brom at home in their matchday 15 fixture on Sunday.
