Sturridge, Allardyce Claim Barclays Monthly Awards

Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge has won the Barclays Player of the Month award for the second time this season.

The England striker, 24, who also won the August award, is rewarded for five goals and two assists in February.

Sam Allardyce, 59, receives the manager’s award after West Ham gained a maximum 12 points during the month.

Four straight wins against Swansea City, Aston Villa, Norwich City and Southampton helped the ‘Hammers’ climb into the 10th place in the Premier League log.
