Many Sunderland fans have been left buzzing as an official post from the Wearside club emerged on Lee Johnson.

The Stadium of Light faithful tweeted that Johnson has been voted as League One's Manager of the Month (MOTM) for December, the second time that he has picked up the award this season.

He helped his team pick up four wins in the division last month, including 5-0 thumpings of both Morecambe and Sheffield Wednesday at home, and only conceded three goals in the league over the period (BBC). All in all, the Black Cats scored 17 times in December.

The results leave them in second place in the table, and currently on course for automatic promotion up to the Championship, highlighting the good job that Johnson has done recently.

Nonetheless, it is an award that is thoroughly deserved, as the Black Cats now look to push on for the second half of the season.
