Liverpool’s 26-year-old right-back had a fantastic month at both ends of the pitch, helping the Premier League leaders go unbeaten through six matches to end December eight points clear at the top.

Dean Huijsen (AFC Bournemouth)
P6 W3 D3 L0 G2 CS3
The 19-year-old Spanish youth international, signed from Juventus last summer, had an incredible December for a Bournemouth team who went unbeaten through six matches to rise to seventh in the table. The centre-back scored a winner against Spurs and the opening goal in a 3-0 win at Manchester United, as well as contributing to three clean sheets with 39 clearances, the second-most among all Premier League players, and 12 interceptions, the sixth-most.

Swedish striker Isak was the Premier League’s top scorer, netting eight times in total and scoring in all six of his appearances, including a hat-trick against Ipswich Town.

Jacob Murphy (Newcastle)

Murphy had the third-most goals and assists combined in December. Having assisted only twice all season and failed to score a single goal before December, the winger stepped up incredibly with three goals and four assists as Newcastle lost only one of six matches to go fifth in the table.

Antonee Robinson (Fulham)
P7 W2 D5 L0 G0 A4 CS1
Left-back Robinson was integral to a Fulham team who went seven matches without defeat in December. The United States international assisted four goals from defence, creating 13 chances, the second-most among Premier League defenders.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Liverpool’s Egyptian scored or assisted a remarkable 14 goals in only six December matches. It is the joint-most goal involvements produced by a Premier League player in a single month, matching Luis Suarez’s record from December 2013. Salah’s performances have put Liverpool in charge of the title race and put him in the lead for this season’s Golden Boot and Playmaker awards.
