Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has been named as the Barclays Premier League's manager of the month for January.
The Cherries won two and drew two of their four league matches, defeating Arsenal and Chelsea, while drawing against Brighton and West Ham.
Howe believes the 3-0 victory over Chelsea was Bournemouth's best performance since getting promoted to the Premier League in 2015.
"Right at the start of the game, I thought we were in a really good place," Howe said. "[We had] a lot of good passing rhythm, which is difficult to do when you go to Chelsea - to actually keep the ball with the pressure they put on us.
"I thought Chelsea played well. It was a good game. In the second half we were very clinical with the chances when they came so all around I thought it was a great display."
Bournemouth, who host Newcastle United on Saturday, are tenth in the table after their seven-game unbeaten run in the league was snapped when they lost 4-1 at Huddersfield last weekend.
