Begovic claims second straight POTM award

Asmir Begovic has won your vote to be named the Player of the Month award winner for the second successive time.

The Bosnian followed up his November triumph with five straight clean sheets in December, including a run of eight hours and 29 minutes without conceding a goal.

Such solidity saw the 33-year-old claim 44.8% of the 1,765 votes tallied in our Twitter poll.

After a successful and grueling month of Championship action, the 'keeper, who has played every league minute for the Cherries since the first away game of the season at Middlesbrough, fought off stiff competition to land the prize.

Lewis Cook (29.9%), Dominic Solanke (13.2%) and Junior Stanislas (12.1%) were the other worthy candidates for their strong performances during December.

Thank you to everyone who voted, with fans currently also able to watch and vote for their year-ending Goal of the Month award winner.
