That comes as no surprise either with our number 22 producing his finest all-round performance in a Spurs shirt to date which was capped by a superb maiden strike for the club to open proceedings in the 12th minute.
Starting all four games under Roberto De Zerbi to date, the midfielder was at his relentless best last night and showed the qualities he brings to the midfield after a difficult start since his January move from Atletico Madrid.
Conor, who scored in his previous two appearances at Villa Park, was at it again as he produced a stunning touch and even better finish as he rifled one into the bottom left corner from the edge of the box to give us a deserved lead.
Playing a more advanced role in a three alongside the impressive Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha, our midfield dictated proceedings in the middle of the park but it was Conor's energy and work-rate that set the tone in the well-organised press which was such a key aspect to the victory.
The 26-year-old was everywhere - with our Head Coach likening it to having '12 players' on the pitch - and typified the heart and spirit shown by the group to secure back-to-back wins and another huge three points in the Premier League.
It was a memorable night for Conor - who took 71 per cent of the vote to claim his maiden award - made even more so by a special moment after the final whistle when he was serenaded in full voice from our superb travelling fans in the away end.
