Manchester City's Sergio Aguero wins Premier League Player of the Month award

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been rewarded for his form in January with the Premier League Player of the Month award.

Aguero has been in free-scoring form for the top-flight leaders, and the Argentine managed to net five times during the first month of 2018.

The Argentine's first effort came in the 3-1 triumph over Watford and although Aguero did not score in the 4-3 defeat to Liverpool, the forward laid on an assist for a teammate.

A hat-trick was netted in the 3-1 victory over Newcastle United before Aguero scored during the latter stages of the 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion on January 31.

Earlier on Friday, it was revealed that Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe had won the Manager of the Month accolade.
