So obviously for that to be recognised across the league, it&#8217;s a nice feeling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, just a proud moment for myself to achieve that, considering the amount of quality and talent that is in the Premier League at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With his teammates showing their work hard around him, Calvert-Lewin continued scoring after the New Year, most recently netting against Newcastle United. He said staying consistent in his approach is key to his form. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think up until the last week of November, I think I had one goal, now I&#8217;ve got nine,\u201d he reflected. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo it&#8217;s been a good few weeks and I think I&#8217;ve not really changed anything in terms of what I&#8217;ve been doing in training or off of the pitch. I&#8217;ve just stayed consistent and just kept working hard, and it&#8217;s always nice when it pays off.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been presented with the Premier League \u2018Player of the Month\u2019 award for December, following his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373542,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-373541","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373541"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373541\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
