Arsenal captain Kim Little has been named Women's Super League player of the month for January.

The former Scotland midfielder was instrumental for the Gunners as they beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, their first win against the Blues since December 2023.

She also played the full 90 minutes in their draw with Champions League qualification rivals Manchester United at Emirates Stadium.

It has been a week of milestones for the 35-year-old after making her 400th Arsenal appearance off the bench against OH Leuven in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Elsewhere, Manchester United's Jess Park has been awarded the goal of the month prize for her solo run and strike in the side's 4-1 win at Aston Villa.

Finally, Liverpool boss Gareth Taylor has picked up the manager of the month award after guiding the Reds to four points from a possible six against Tottenham and London City Lionesses to help them off the foot of the table.
