Brighton's Hughton named Manager of the Month

In February, Hughton's Seagulls went undefeated, comfortably seeing off West Ham and Swansea and grabbing a crucial point away at Stoke.

This award is also a historic one as it's the first time the trophy has been won by a black manager in the 25 years it's been going. 

"It's a wonderful achievement for the club and certainly for a group of players that have improved as the season has gone on and knowing that we've still got a lot of work to do," said Hughton.

Brighton's success, however, would not stop as February came to a close. March got off to a dream start as the Seagulls pulled off a shock victory over Arsenal, beating the Gunners 2-1. 

Thanks to their flying form, Brighton have leapfrogged a number of teams to find themselves in the top half of the table and seven points clear of the drop zone. The club will now be hoping to solidify their place in the league and continue their FA Cup run. They face Manchester United in the quarter-final. 

The Player of the Month award was once again won by Mo Salah of Liverpool.
