Chelsea s Lewis Bate has been named December 2020 s Premier League 2 Player of the Month.
The 18-year-old played in a key role in Chelsea winning all three of their matches in the month, defeating Leicester City 2-1 and beating Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 before rounding off the year with an emphatic 6-1 victory over Manchester United.
The midfielder played every minute as the PL2 defending champions moved to the top of the Division 1 table. I was shocked when I found out just because of the level of competition there was among the nominations, Bate told the club s official website.

The shortlist was chosen by the Premier League Football Development panel after PL2 clubs’ coaches nominated the best performances by opposing players in each league fixture in December. The PL2 will return on 15th January after the annual winter break, but both Anjorin and Bate are expected to feature before that, in our FA cup match against Morecambe.
In other news, Teddy Sharman-Lowe, who went on a season-long loan to League One club Burton Albion, has been recalled by Chelsea. While the exact reason behind Chelsea’s decision to do so is unclear, it could have something to do with fellow goalkeeper Prince Adegoke’s injury. Sharman-Lowe made three appearances, all of them cup games, for Burton.
