Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been named Barclays Premiership player of the month for December.
The England midfielder returned from a broken metatarsal bone before Christmas and made a massive impact immediately, guiding the Reds to fifth in the table and into the knock-out stages of the Champions League.
The accolade has been handed to Gerrard by the Barclays Awards Panel, consisting of representatives from governing bodies, the media and supporters.
