Dominic Solanke and his scorpion kick goal have been nominated for the Premier League's Goal of the Month award for February.
Out of the first half of the campaign through injury, Dom was back with a bang last month as just his second Premier League start of the season brought about a contender for Goal of the Season, let alone Goal of the Month.
Coming in our 2-2 draw with Manchester City at the start of February, the forward showed incredible skill inside the box to score what he described as 'one of the best goals' he's ever scored.
Winner of our Goal of the Month award as voted for by our fans, the move was started and created by January arrival Conor Gallagher, who retrieved the ball back in midfield before breaking to the byline.
Once there, the midfielder clipped the ball into the area for our number 19. With the ball slightly behind him, Dom somehow managed to get his right foot to the ball and hook it over his own head and then the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to see us add another ridiculous goal to our collection for 2025/26.

And now that strike has been recognised by the Premier League and is in the running for the Goal of the Moth prize for February.
As always, there will be competition for the honour with efforts from Fulham's Kevin, Sunderland's Chemsdine Talbi, Arsenal Martin Zubimendi, Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai, Manchester United's Benjamin Sesko, Wolverhampton Wanderers Hugo Bueno and Leeds United's Anton Stach all up for the title.
But you can play your part and help Dom to take the prize. All you need to do is cast your support for Dom on the Premier League's voting page.
Voting is now open and will close on Monday 9 March at 12noon (UK).
