Chelsea's rapid rise to the top of the Premier League table has been rewarded with three of their key men receiving awards for their impressive November form.
Diego Costa has been named the Premier League player of the month for November while Antonio Conte has once again picked up the managerial gong.
The Blues have made it a hat-trick as Pedro's goal against Tottenham in the club's 2-1 win saw the Spaniard win Carling's goal of the month award.

Their awards, which are decided by fans and experts, come just a month after Conte and star playmaker Eden Hazard picked up the Premier League manager and player awards for October.
It is the first time the three awards have been awarded to the same club.
Chelsea won all three of their Premier League games in November - thrashing Everton 5-0 before defeating Middlesbrough and London rivals Tottenham after the international break.
They carried that fine November form into their first game in December as they came back from a goal down to beat Manchester City 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
Costa, who scored two goals in three games during Chelsea's November fixtures, said of his award: 'Things are going well at the moment. The team is doing well and this shows that things are working out for me.
'The team performance has a bearing on this individual award. If we were bottom, I doubt I'd have won it. So, it's down to my team-mates, thanks to the club and hopefully we can continue this winning run.
'Thanks also to the fans for this award but the most important thing for me and the club is that we are up there fighting for the league at the end of the season.'
Pedro, meanwhile, described his strike against Tottenham as the best of his Chelsea career.
'This is the best goal I have scored for Chelsea,' Pedro said. 'The game was very difficult, it was a derby, and the goal came at the right moment for us. It was important to score before half-time. Thank you to the fans for voting for me. I am very happy with this award.'
And Conte, who is preparing his side for the visit of West Brom, added: 'I like to share this award with the players, my staff and with the fans. I repeat we lose and we win together. And I like to share awards with the other people of Chelsea.'
