Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou makes Premier League history with third manager of the month award

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has been named Premier League manager of the month for a third month in a row.

It is the first time in Premier League history that a manager has one the award in each of his first three months in the league. Postecoglou was appointed was Celtic in the summer and guided Spurs to the top of the Premier League before Monday's defeat at Chelsea.

Spurs were the only team to win all three of their league games in October but saw their unbeaten start to the season end with November's first game.

Winning three in a row is a rare feat in itself having only been achieved three previous times since the award was introduced in 2007. Antonio Conte was the first in 2016, followed by Pep Guardiola's four-month streak in the following year. Jurgen Klopp won three in a row in 2019 in a run of six wins in eight months.

The award is decided by with a fan vote and a panel of experts.
