Bournemouth’s fine form was reflected today when they scooped both the Premier League Manager and Player of the Month awards for January.
Andoni Iraola took the manager gong for the second time in his career after leading the Cherries to three wins and one draw from their four games.
Iraola topped a four-man shortlist that also included Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola. Newcastle’s Eddie Howe and Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta.

Justin Kluivert made it a Bournemouth one-two after scoring five goals and adding two assists across the four games as the south coast club continued to challenge for a place in next season’s Champions League.
Kluivert, the son of Netherlands legend Patrick, netted a penalty in a 1-1 draw at Chelsea before scoring a brilliant hat-trick as Bournemouth thrashed Newcastle 4-1 at St James’ Park.
He followed that up with a goal and an assist as Bournemouth beat fellow high-flyers Nottingham Forest 5-0.
