"It was a nice surprise," said Clement, whose team are 17th in the table, a point above the relegation zone. Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli won the monthly players' award after scoring five league goals in January. Alli, 20, got his final league goal of the month against Manchester City as Spurs came from two goals down to escape with a point from the Etihad Stadium. "The team's done very well this month, not just me individually," Alli said. "We've had lots of players in form so it's an honour to win it."
